Yeah that's what Europe has done. You never need a car to go anywhere. Every place is well connected by public transport.
USA is however designed differently. even if there is a grocery store or Walmart right next to your residence it will be separated by a green wall and then connected with a round about ending in a parking lot.
Apart from New York and few other cities most of the American cities have gone to great lengths so you don't have to step out of your car.
You just boiled my blood.
There is a Target right next to a Petco in my area. The parking lots touch each other, not even a grass median between them. But they put up a tall fence between them so there is no way to go from one store to the other without driving out of the parking lot of one, onto a main street, and then turning into the other parking lot. And if you go to Target first, you have to turn left onto a street that has a median and have to go do a U Turn farther down the street to get to Petco.
Yeah that's a universal phenomenon in America. I have seen the same thing everywhere and I have travelled to all 50 states.
No other country does that except for the UAE.
Maybe Car companies make city planners and businesses do that on purpose, so we are helplessly dependent on cars.
Yes, we can redesign our cities though! Things are already going to have to change since office buildings are becoming more and more obsolete.
