In many, probably almost all US cities any downtown areas is used for "business" - i.e. commercial offices. The living pattern is you wake up, drive anywhere from 10-40 miles, 10 minutes to 2 hours, and you park your car in a parking garage and then walk a block to a skyscraper where you go up into an office area. After World War II the US built highways that destroyed most cities. Take a look at the 1949 image and then the 1981 to get an idea [1]. The root cause of many of America's continued problems, ranging from racism and classism, to oil and car dependency are linked to what we did over the years.
