    I think big oil and gas pulled a few strings as well. Making people rely on cars also meant making them rely on gas.

    Unfortnately cities were in a sense sold out to these companies with promises of prosperity brought by the automobile but instead recieved crippling debt trying to support the automobiles and their roadways.
