I think they’re referring to how vehicle-centric planning for cities is more common (as opposed to walking or human-powered locomotion, like biking or skating)
Ditto. But the rest of the travel we do need to do to interact with people, amenities, and services, is still worse than it should be due to poor inter-city and city-rural transit. At least here in Canada. My time in Europe showed me how bad we really have it. Even with the unavoidable foibles that happen in the best of cases/countries.
And since then - We have found ways to make all travel worse for comfort, more expensive, and more necessary.
Gotta love capitalism breeded innovation.
Travel is much, much cheaper than it used to be.
I haven’t had a commute in over a decade

But it’s also become less necessary as we have much improved telecommunications. I regularly work with people halfway around the world from my house.

Yeah. The small town I used to live in had trolley service to the nearest city about 20 miles away before they tore it up for a highway.
I solve this problem by rarely leaving my home.
