"What replaced...dense and complex urban neighborhoods, of course, were freeways and surface parking lots catering to suburban motorists. Many of them used the city simply as a place to drive through on their way to earn their paychecks, before returning to the quiet cul-de-sacs of mostly white suburbia."
If something in society is rotten, there's a very good chance racism plays a major role. Of COURSE it is Black and brown neighborhoods that are the first to get paved over to make way for hideous freeways and parking lots. Entire homes and livelihoods sacrificed so capitalists can make a profit and white suburbanites won't be inconvenienced.
Then when suburbanites decide they like cities and walkable communities, what do they do? They push Black and brown people out of those, too. Price them right out.

"Health outcomes associated with pollution are dramatically worse in poorer countries, as well as low-income and marginalized communities in even the wealthiest nations. The very people least likely to own cars are the ones who suffer the greatest medical burdens caused by their use..."
Seems like a trend. It's always the most vulnerable people who suffer the consequences of the wealthiest peoples' insatiable greed, without ever getting to reap any benefits. How infuriating.

Every time I think it can’t get any worse, there’s yet another horrifying example of the many ways cars ruin everything.
What do you MEAN road runoff that cars shed gets sluiced away along with chemicals used for road maintenance until it makes a big ol’ vile chemical cocktail that then ends up in rivers and streams and is slowly killing off species of fish?
My contempt for the automobile knows no bounds. 😤
