luv how high car ownership is in green while low car ownership is in red, implying that car ownership is an inherently good thing
Where the hell do you think Detroit is
Also this is partially a map of “who can’t afford a car”
Surprise, Arizona
Not really.
The title could be cities with good vs bad city planning. All the green cities are designed to force people to use cars, because they made everything so spread out with little to no public transportation. The red cities are built properly with public transportation to help people get around.
Have you been to Los Angeles? It’s not so much that it was poorly designed as it is that it just never stopped growing. Los Angeles county is 4753 square miles.
Yeah, I went on a road trip a long time ago. I remember it was almost all highway with tons of cars without a good public transport system. They knew they were growing and could have held off the heavy traffic with commuter trains and a substantial public transport system.
Sure there’s a system already in place in LA, though I’m sure there’s room for improvement.
Or bad vs worse city planning. I was surprised to see so many upstate NY cities on the low car ownership list. They do have some public transport but can still be pretty tough without a car. Though they’ve all had some efforts to rein in some failed urban renewal projects like bulldozing unnecessary freeways, and some attempts at improving walking and biking experiences.
Murrietta is not in the center of California. The number one in southern California is Murrietta. The number 1 in the center of the state is Fresno or Merced or something
