I think they're referring to how vehicle-centric planning for cities is more common (as opposed to walking or human-powered locomotion, like biking or skating)

    That’s mainly the US though. Here in the Netherlands they are planning cities with the intent to discourage car use as much as possible.

    Also Canada where the majority of my experience comes from. If I could see some my taxes going towards a Euro-style infra for moving people and things I would be a much happier person overall.

    We actually did live in switzerland back in 2020 (I know, schengen is not EU) and were about to lease a home in France, but someone in my family fell ill and I had to come back to Canada.

    The transit, grocery , pharmacy, and cultural access was amazing to us, even in times when locals were complaining of severely limited services.
