alt Hacker News>IMHO the real problem is cars. The US still can't imagine itself without cars.
All of the US except NYC. In NYC 45.6% of households own a car. In Berlin it's 49%.

This only showcases how bad the US is in this area, when the city that most relies on public transportation still has such a bad service.
You’re kind of proving the point here. NYC has fewer car owners and yet NYC doesn’t have a single pedestrian street or street closed to through traffic. Sounds like a city that can’t imagine itself without cars even though it’s completely realistic.
