A fundamentally American freedom is under attack. The automobile defined the 20th century in the United States. Mass production made cars available to the nation's middle class and helped create the modern suburb, where most Americans now live. Driving became part of coming of age in America...Meanwhile, some cities have put their drivers on forced road diets. They are reducing lanes available to drivers on key arterial streets...The goal is to discourage driving by intentionally reducing capacity and creating traffic congestion by design...The bottom line is they want to force more residents to use alternative transportation by making driving as unpleasant as possible.

“Driving is under assault because the population of the US got too large to sustain the wonderful life styles us older folk grew up with in the 1950s and 1960s.”

It’s why California went from being America to what it is today.
We can thank both parties for it. Neither put the interests of Americans first.
You're preaching to the choir. It never made sense to move people from poorer countries to the most wasteful nation on earth. It would've made far more sense if, instead of being Sparta, we had nourished those countries to have simple, self-sustaining situations. We're the ATM machines or cash crop (either analogy is fine) for the elite.
It's fascism. The government controls everything, but not before everything gets managed by well-connected private entities which reap profits for doing so.
