    …Well then if the average american KNOWS that it is so dangerous to have their infrastructure designed as it is… whrre is the frequent , substantial, disruptive uproar from the americans about this topic?

    You think that politicians , and billionaires who run the american economy care about a small set of scattered peaceful protests here and there? Ha!

    The same can be asked about all other regions that have such needless car-centric infrastruture too…

    Therefore we CAN victim blame here. Because the victims are knowledgable of how nonsensical and self-destructive their eveeyday-used infrastructure is…and yet…they do nothing MASSIVE or substantial to force change!

    NOTHING is substantial unless it is substantiated.
