Why American Cities Are Poorly Designed

There's this beautiful park in Chicago, Jackson park, designed by same landscape architect to design Central Park. But it doesn't have the same feel as Central Park. And I remember taking my kids and this car zoomed by and literally a hubcap flew off of the car right in front of us and started spinning around us. It's like, okay, the nature is here, but the car traffic is wrecking it. Humans have so much control over the physical environment, but we've kind of built the physical environment to move goods efficiently and to house people efficiently. We didn't build the environment to, like, give you the best attention or to make you more cooperative or to give you the most contentment. What I'm suggesting is going to be very expensive, but it's almost like you have to separate the car traffic from these nature spaces to keep them more pure. It's going to be expensive, but I really think we can do it.
