Imagine if cars only now started to become a thing and we were living in a walkable city with viable public transportation.

We would probably as a society question why do cars need to be so large and require massive empty parking lots.

It would be crazy to pave over a whole park in the center of a green walkable town.

    oh they did that when cars were brand new, people protested and HATED cars

    rich people and politicians of course couldn't care less, and just ignored them as they passed laws restricting people's freedom to use streets like normal, giving absurd privileges to cars and car manufacturers.
