Our (the states) reliance on car central culture is killing us in more ways than one.

I grew up in the suburbs and you could easily go a week without substantially interacting with people.

Jump in your metal capsule, drive 7 mins to Walmart, walk quietly across the huge parking lot, get your item and return home.

Contrasted with dense urban city with public transit, you will serendipitously bump into people and be forced to interact more with society, even if it is just exchanging pleasantries.

This is killing ourselves socially, not to mention how much cars cause physical death.
