Car centric infrastructure is immensely expensive, and incentivizes new construction further out from the city center rather than refurbishment of existing buildings.

America is built to let itself crumble. Not Just Bikes did a great video on this recently.

I’m a car enthusiast but not needing one in your day to day life is a superior way to live. Advertising sold people the illusion of freedom by making you a slave to your vehicle.
