Besides, why shouldn't the place I live be allowed to have some nice nature and shade, some quiet spots, etc? Why should I have to drive out of town?

When people go places in US. We always ask “Where do we park?”. This is not the case in other countries. They usually ask which metro, bus, or tram to get to the location. There was a disillusion that more parking equals more people can visit. But in reality there was either too much parking lot or not enough. Places with large free parking were part of large sprawling malls that were once great places to be at. When you think about it. Malls back in their glory days actually showed how good walkable community spaces can be. Sure there that massive parking lot around the mall but once the customer got out of their car, they were treated to a large shared spaces filled with stores and shops that are easily accessible by walking. Before the giant mall, Americans had to drive from store to store which is not so convenient. The problem was once people have ditched the malls due to anchor stores closing down and rise of online shopping, there was no need to go to the mall anymore. All that is left is a desolate parking lot and dilapidated buildings. In countries with great mass transit and mixed use zoning, they have shops, restaurants, bars, and businesses alongside multi family homes. They can get everything they need close by, and if they want to go somewhere else, it’s a quick hop on mass transit. At their destination is more close by shops and restaurants that can be access by foot. These shops and businesses will always have foot traffic and all without the need for a single car.

Mass transit is readily available in most major US cities, but most Americans would rather not take a bus or train. They prefer the comfort and convenience of their car to sitting on the bus next to some derelict who just vomited on himself. I live in a city of nearly 1,500,000 people, and on the rare occasion when I use one, the buses are mostly empty and kargely populated by those so poor they have no other choice.

Our policies such as single use zoning, parking requirements, massive highway projects, height restrictions, etc etc push destinations far away from each other that it’s inconvenient to walk . Without things walking distance, public transport is inefficient. Biking is still feasible but only if the infrastructure is there to make it safe from the externalities of being hit by cars.
