A comment on Why American cities are broke (2021) [video]. Parent comment
North American stopped building "better designed suburbs" post-WW2 when everything went car centric. Before that we had:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWsGBRdK2N0
Anything car-centric is worse designed. That does not mean we have to ban cars 100%, but simply design things so the car is an option rather than a necessity.
