Because years ago, Henry Ford and the oil industry convinced Congress to make cars the method of travel across the US. VERY few places can be traveled without a car.

And it fucking sucks, Hell I've been fortunate enough to have a vehicle that doesn't break down of as of late. It's funny how different people will treat you, my 2 year old car was in the dealership while I spent a week walking around a distant city. Like no I really can choose to walk. I could rent a car, again I have a week off work, but simply walking down the street leads to potential harassment from police and civilians alike.
