This is a great argument. Retrofitting America is one discussion. But building new developments such that they don't require a car–at least within themselves–should be doable.
I still think it’s worth observing the Netherlands as an example because they also had mid-century car-oriented development that they successfully retrofitted.
And of course, also, this doesn’t mean “nobody owns a car in the Netherlands.”
Do you have a good source on that retrofit?
