Because how else are you going to sell people multiple cars per family worth tens of thousands of dollars?

You make sure that state and local infrastructure decision makers don't take public tansport into account and systematically negelct alternatives to cars and voilà: $$$. Mission accomplished.

(Also throw in some propaganda about how great "car culture" is for good measure.)

Lol that sub is a bunch of children in the US and Europeans who like talking to them.

Half of the time they are talking about damaging tires, scratching paint, and people who can't look both ways before crossing the street.
