When cities treated cars as dangerous intruders
Ouch, so US towns and cities didn&#x27;t always be hostile towards walking.  My assumption that it&#x27;s always been this way, was wrong.<p>But in a way that&#x27;s worse because it means they used to have this privilege and it has been taken away, and cars-first has become the norm.<p>But the roads would have been used for something, at a guess, was it trams and horse carriages, and that these didn&#x27;t pose much of a problem?  I&#x27;ve been to towns with trams in the middle of roads and it&#x27;s normal for people to just walk around it or near the tracks without problem.  But I am a stupid tourist so I kept my distance.
