The real difference though is American cities blossomed with the same arc automobile came into fruition.

I just recently got back from Germany and the primary thing I noticed about their public transportation infrastructure is that most of it is using right of ways that have been in place for… hundreds of years.

Driving in America is an unfortunate necessity in the vast majority of places (The minority being the oldest coastal cities) and that annoys me greatly, but it’s the reality of it.

I do choose to live downtown so I can walk or bike. But those are my options :/
