one underdiscussed aspect of America's car oriented transportation system is that car accidents are a major reason that American life expectancy lags behind other developed countries[0] (along with gun violence). I have family that drive on highways in Texas daily and it's probably the most dangerous thing they do, but they have no choice. The cities are built to force you into owning a car and risking your life to accomplish basic tasks.
