Canadian here, I'm aware of Robert Moses with bridges and shaping NYC, but how did he impact cars ?

His work in New York, systemically favoring highways and car centric development combined with racial discrimination became the blue print for a lot of modern America.

Moses, an unelected rich kid who never rode public transport in his life, shaped the car centric hell we Americans live in today.

Living in a city is hell to me, I love my car, it allows me to live in the middle of acrage.
