An interesting description of how cars cause alienation and atomization.

This insular and selfish thinking is a direct result of the livability—or lack thereof—of a street, especially one with heavy traffic volumes. Residents have little sense of joy and contentment in the space outside where they live. The front of the house is seen as where they leave the comfort of their home and enter the hostility of the world around them. Why bother taking care of it if they don’t spend time there? As it turns out, aside from having feelings of belonging and pride for our immediate surroundings, the resulting lack of socialization has even greater impacts on the emotional and physical health of residents.

Thanks for sharing, being from the city where the pictures in that article have been taken (Delft), I feel incredibly privileged to have been born and raised there.

In my younger years, I could not get enough from huge cities, and I still can't. However, now that I'm getting a bit older I feel so privileged to live in an environment where cars are no longer first thought when designing an area.
