This is an extremely unpopular opinion here but i dont think grigson or pagano are bad by any means . The players need to fuckin play better . I get people blaming that on the coach but alot of these players have played very well in the past so i just dont buy that its the coaching or management that is screwing the franchise . I think its a cheap scapegoat . <| sep |> I got you . So after WWII there a number of factors that lead to many American towns to sprawl and have traffic problems that we have deal with today . This is very generalized , but the main jist is thisInner city downtown living , popular since the turn of the century , was seen as unfavorable and dirty by this time . Suburban living was the rage and people instead started flocking out of the city to get out of the ruckus of the city . Many of these downtowns Seattle , LA , San Francisco Cincinnati , Minneapolis , New York , etc . had extensive mass transit systems , especially trams . Trams were great way to travel before the advent of the car , but affordable mass production of autos by the 20 s forced trams to share with the new technology , slowing trams down . Over time the tramways got less ridership and feel into disrepair until being shut down by the postwar era . Cars were branded as a way of freedom and independence to accommodate the new suburban way of life . The phrase two cars in every driveway comes from this era and describes how essential cars were becoming to the average American family . Suburban development required a car anyways . Look at a culdesac image online or on Google maps . Walking is very inefficient because of the cookie cutter design many of these developments are built from . I can ' t find a source on this so take the following with a grain of salt apparently the designs are intentional to deter vagrant passerbys , homeless peoples , or any unfamiliar or undesirables that may be in the area . Government policy encouraged counter urbanization policies and highway projects . Freeways were built to connect the jobs downtown to the suburbs , often cutting up many inner city communities . Suburban housing was built to handle the big demand . There ' s a lot more to it but this is the main points .
