A fucking mistake is when you accidentally enter the wrong whole. Or a teenage pregnancy.

Destroying the country for cars was not a fucking mistake, it was malicious intent.

Look at these streetcars ~~taking profit away from the petrochemical industry~~ being dangerous!

Can someone point me towards good information on this topic? Specifically the city designs before carmaggedon.

There are decent YouTube channels that discuss city design, and they sometimes compare with the old days. My personal favorites are NotJustBikes and CityNerd, with the latter probably more likely to bring up historical info.

What are you talking about? I don't see cities becoming smaller due to cars. Not NYC, Beijing, Jakarta, Bangkok, Dubai, Doha.

Tell me which city? And no, I'm not trying to support cars here, just facts.

The point is the exact opposite? Cars create urban sprawl and massive ineffeciencies.
