That's literally all an infrastructure (and infrastructure planning) problem. Designers planned for car-centric infrastructure, so that's what we got. Sprawl begets sprawl; spreading out destinations means you need more pipes/sewage/electrical/roadway to reach each destination, and roadways are space-inefficient, so the problem compounds.

  • Exactly! When I say "infrastructure," I mean how they design how people get from A to B. Removing a road and putting buildings in its place to get more density is infrastructure the same way as putting in a bike path or rail line is. It's all about urban planning and deciding how people will get to their destinations.
