Note that this is not just due to geography but to actual urban planning/architecture. Post-WWII US cities were explicitly designed for cars, and that's a disaster ecologically and practically.

See also Ivan Illich's Tools for Conviviality which has a long analysis on why car-oriented cities has a terribly-low efficiency.

It's a disaster financially. Especially in california with prop 13 people don't pay enough property taxes to maintain the suburban infrastructure in front of their houses.
