For one, the geography of car use tracks with income and wealth: Car-dependent places are considerably less affluent. Metros in which a higher share of people depend on their cars to get to work are poorer, and those where more people use transit or bike or walk to work are considerably more affluent.
I always hated driving. I gave up my car more than a decade ago. I am happy to see stats like this.
In spite of how sprawling the US is, I think it is a myth that we have no choice but to build a car-centric America, a myth that serves as self-fulfilling prophecy. And I hate hearing it.
