Do some more research on the topic. From the legal system to land use, transportation funding, and corporate handouts the United States undeniably has an active car culture.
Well, yeah, because cars became such major part of life, systems were made around them. Cars aren't enabled by those systems, it's the other way around. Same can be said for every other major form of transportation in human history. You sound like a hippy.
Ad hominem isn't helpful. This entire thread is providing you with original research and facts that doesn't support your argument. You can choose to read them or attack others and you're choosing the latter.
All these "original research" and facts does nothing but state the after effects of the invention of cars and them becoming the dominant form of transportation. While the original post i replied to believes that if somehow this "car culture" phenomenon disappeared, people will stop using cars and everyone will ride bycicles like a happy hippy nation. That won't happen, because, like i made it clear, everything gravitates around cars, not the other way around.
Your research is therefore irrelevant to the base issue.
What i choose is to use reason and make a simple link between cause and effect.
