    Not necessarily. I, for one, mostly (i.e. at least a little bit >50%) blame the deliberately-low-density zoning code and early FHA policy (e.g. redlining and deliberately recommending car-centric development patterns).

    Did Standard Oil and General Motors have a huge influence? Sure, but they didn’t literally pass the laws.
