it's weird living in Europe or Japan because if your basis of comparison is Brazil or, gods forbid, the USA, it briefly feels like you got rid of carbrained cities and everything is so much better. but after a while you realise, nope, the place is still ruined by car-centric urbanism. it's just less car-centric than some of the absolute most dystopic urban hells in the world, but that doesn't mean it's good. the entire system still bends over backwards for cars and the cars still ruin everything
