> EU needs to do something about its stupidly car-centric economy

Why? There is a lot of truth to it.

Not as car centric as US or Canada but compared to the rest of the world EU is very car centric. At least the US and Canada are vast and their cities are much more young.

Americans have this romantic view of Europe as old dense cities.

That doesn’t make our economy car-centric… a car-centric economy would mean most of the GDP in the EU originates from automobile production, which is just laughably untrue.
