A comment on What Happens to Kid Culture When Streets Are Closed to Cars. Parent comment
No, that's what the suburban rail is for (see: NYC).
If anything, the suburban people can always park on the outskirts of city centers, and use public transportation (or walk) in the city.
But no, the cities had to be designed for the automobile. There was a lot of money to be made that way for the auto companies.
Think it sounds like a conspiracy theory? You are right, except that it's actually true[1].
