would it even be possible to “de-car” a western american city?

if you were going to make suburban denver not suck (aka remove hard reliance on cars) how would you do it

suburban denver exists in path-dependent equilibrium - a physical manifestation of 1950s energy abundance assumptions. transformation requires simultaneous phase shifts: mixed zoning to collapse distance vectors, transit networks as connective tissue, and density thresholds that make walkability emergent rather than imposed. not impossible, just requires coordinated perturbation across multiple independent systems. the math works, the politics doesn't.

You could probably only do it dense downtowns and/or build a more robust metro/train systems

Here’s the thing though, Americans love cars. Walkable downtowns and whatnot, great. But also, I can get in a car and drive 18 hours and be in a whole new world and with my own owned personal transport! Amazing. 

You can’t de-car America because Americans love cars.

what if you car between a series of medium density walkable exclaves

The train to the airport is a public transit value.
