If there’s anything we should take from Japan, it’s treating cars like second class citizens behind transit instead of the other way around. The cute tiny cars are more a side effect of that.

    On my 5th year in Japan, bikes and public transportation are great. Kei cars are amazing, but going over 60 mph is not really a thing. If we could eliminate lawns and get the same population density from Japanesw villages / cities into the US it would make more sense.
