Cars are the ultimate mode of transportation. When I go to the store I drive my car. Then when I have to go from the parking lot to the store itself I drive another car. Then when I have to move around the store I drive another smaller car.
it's genuinely so dystopian to me that some Americans are forced to use a car from their houses to the store... they have to spend money on petrol every time they just wanna get a little something from a corner store. talk about a restrictive society... I get why delivery apps are popular there.
Hah, imagine a corner store...
And there it is.
Mind you, different pressures make different designs. Part of the reason the Netherlands has great mass transit is they got bombed to hell in WWII. The cities were also initially grown out of medieval designs.
