“Automobiles are often conveniently tagged as the villains responsible for the ills of cities and the disappointments and futilities of city planning. But the destructive effects of automobiles are much less a cause than a symptom of our incompetence at city building.
The simple needs of automobiles are more easily understood and satisfied than the complex needs of cities, and a growing number of planners and designers have come to believe that if they can only solve the problems of traffic, they will thereby have solved the major problems of cities.
Cities have much more intricate economic and social concerns than automobile traffic. How can you know what to try with traffic until
you know how the city itself works, and what else it needs to do with its streets? You can't.” Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities , 1961
“How can you know what to try with traffic until ….”

… It is where most American children grow up. It is where most economic activity takes place. Indeed, I will make the argument that this process of destruction, and the realm that is spawned, largely became our economy.
…..James Howard Kunstler
Geography of Nowhere, 1981
If we were to place blame on our economic meltdown on one source, who would we blame?
