I&#x27;m trying to find words to describe my distain for this article, but I can&#x27;t think of anything that isn&#x27;t seen as a direct attack on the author, which isn&#x27;t my goal.<p>Basically America is bad because we had space for cars when they were invented?<p>There are plenty of places in America where you can get by without a car. I live in &quot;suburbia&quot;. A small city of 30,000 in Indiana called Valparaiso. We have a vibrant downtown and where you can live, shop, eat, go to shows, etc. We have public transportation with a local bus line and also bus service into Chicago.<p>I think the author is just finding excuses for being unhappy.
