Just sounds absolutely miserable to prioritize that way of living that is so car dependent. So many negatives come from it:

- pollution

- traffic deaths

- heat generation from all the infra

- inefficient use of space

- ugly aesthetic of strip malls and parking lots

It doesn't have to be this way. We can do better to build diverse housing in our cities, leverage space at the ground level for businesses, invest in our transit to make it safer and more convenient.

Instead we just go with what's easy and continue to build roads and sprawl.
