>As an european, I WANT more parking space, I would love to drive anywhere, including downtown, without worrying where to park, I want 6 lanes on the highway each direction. I would never accept using anything else than my own car.

>Especially considering the rise of electric vehicles and the inevitability of dropping fossil fuels altogether, why is the idea of "build a city around the pedestrians, bikes and public transport" being so forced?

The whole point of a car is to enable you to quickly travel medium and large distances. That makes it rather pointless in a city where a public transit system can fulfill the same role more efficiently while all medium to short distances can also be traveled by bike.

Using up precious city space on the truly tremendous (and often redundant) amounts of infrastructure needed by cars when public transit and bike lanes can deliver the same throughput at a much tinier footprint is just wasteful and city planners are starting to take that into account.
