    I dunno for some years now city planners and their education has had increased focus on public transit, walkability, 15 minute cities and whatnot.

    I’d say combined with the car centric design being worse in the say 50’s, 60’s and so on and those times having no real means for remote work and less opportunities for communication remotely, I don’t think we’re at the worst point.

      Not in Canada. Not in the US.

      Over here we are actively gutting existing bicycle infrastructure to please the right wing morons

          I don’t think I understand your point here.

          I was talking about my experience which is 80% in North America. Your points do not apply in North America as we have actually been getting worse for non-car travel in most cities since the 90s.

          And that’s without even mentioning the atrocities that are considered inter-city or city-rural travel.

            I was just saying that the developments aren’t true for my area. The area wasn’t specified in the start so that’s why I mentioned it
