>Americans can’t into small walkable streets
Thank god I live in a European tier neighborhood. My City was built well before the urban sprawl garbage planning of the mid 20th century.
Americans can’t into small walkable streets

Unironically because fast development of areas is bad and messy. My town of 300,000 people is 68 years old. Give it time for property values and the rise of population density to fix things.

I don’t knowshit about Chile.
Your country is in South America so it’s probably riddled with crime and poverty.
But my point is that my neighborhood is designed with PEOPLE in mind, not cars.
It’s been proven that making cities for walking and mass transit is far better than making cities around the automobile. It’s healthier, cleaner, more efficient, makes people live happier lives, and overall just looks better than having countless parking lots and 60 foot wide roads.

I can only hope. I just wish the country would open its fucking eyes and see that there are alternative ways of living. There are better ways to plan and design our cities. We don’t have to make our cities soulless and covered in asphalt, parking lots, driveways, etc.
We can have beautiful walkable narrow streets, state of the art mass transit, nice green parks, and so much more.

The reason we don't have more of this in our country is a mixture of capitalism invading our politics and straight up racism / white flight.

where is that? East cost?

Its a huge list of reasons.
First is that we are a very large country. 300 million people is a lot but our cities and population centers are spread out thinly.
Second is that low IQ boomers wanted cheap homes and automobiles, which became the staple of the “American dream” post war.
Thirdly is due to racism and white flight.
Fourthly is because of American automotive companies like ford and General Motors hijacking any and all efforts to implement mass transit.
They paid off our politicians and urban planners and coerced them into making all of us slaves to our cars. In 95% of the country, if you can’t drive, you can’t go anywhere because of how sprawled out everything is.
Nothing is within walking distance and building a transit system becomes out of the question.
Luckily for me I live in the comfy 5%

Brooklyn, New York.
My neighborhood is called Bay Ridge.
It’s dense, has amazing bus and metro service, and is loaded with trees.
