One Thing Silicon Valley Can’t Seem to Fix
Car culture forms a positive feedback loop and perpetuates itself just like many other things.  Everyone has a car.  So you build a lot of parking and don&#x27;t worry if campus is miles away and not connected to transit. So everyone has to have a car.  And so on.<p>As long as it&#x27;s the predominant style and no one minds the costs it&#x27;ll go on indefinitely. From other areas of the country (Washington DC, Los Angeles) it can be really bad for a really long time...people will complain but they won&#x27;t change.<p>This being such an American cultural thing too, the pain threshold is very high.<p>Most people take jobs despite bad commutes and inaccessibility without a car.  So people are actively voting their priorities and this isn&#x27;t one of them.  Bad for time, money, and environment, but hey life is busy, most everyone has other fish to fry.
