I think you're projecting a bit there Pat...
Many of us on this group _love_ cities (I live in one of the biggest and
most crowded cities on the planet, and I'd never live anywhere else).
That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to change them for the better.

The automobile has not merely taken over the street, it has dissolved the
living tissue of the city. Its appetite for space is absolutely
insatiable;
moving and parked, it devours urban land, leaving the buildings as mere
islands
of habitable space in a sea of dangerous and ugly traffic.
