You get what you build. The US still builds basically only road infrastructure and as long as that doesn’t change, the US will remain underdeveloped in the personal mobility department. The country could do something about anytime but it doesn’t. Sure, it takes decades until a change in direction really starts to change the country and how it works but that wasn’t different when the country was bulldozed for cars either.
That is part of the reason I guess, but large long car infrastructure projects are still much more likely to happen even if they take longer than that.
