Isn't it weird how half the paycheck goes to rent? It's not like housing is a new invention, why's it so expensive?
IMO, it's some combination of ideologically-driven failures of town planning (the distance from buildings on one side of the street to the other is legally mandated to be ~20m wide, when it could be 
), financial fuckery (investors drive housing prices through the roof by buying housing as speculative vehicles, and investors do so because investors are driving housing prices through the roof by buying housing as speculative vehicles - an ouroboros of shitfuckery) and lobbyist-driven partisanship on public transport (car companies hate trains, so they wage propaganda war against them and in support of overly-large roads with mandatory lanes for vehicle storage).
I agree with you in general, but 2m isn't wide enough for fire truck access. Some regulations are based on the prevalence and nature of natural disasters in a given area.
I'm also not sure about your 20 meters figure because I can't find that there is a federal minimum. 20 feet is the minimum for fire trucks though.
