Just recently (ok maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago) seen a video where they explain how USA got their infrastructure built towards car owners and how pedestrians got the grunt of it. I'll have to find it and share it.

There are some good YouTube channels that talk about it. A lot of USAers don't seem to realize how it doesn't have to be this way and all the usual excuses we hear are bunk because it doesn't seem to be a problem in other countries that used to say the same things. I like the channel Not Just Bikes because it's a guy from Canada (which is similar to the US in this matter) who moved to the Netherlands and he talks about how North America's infrastructure is unsafe and terrible and how the Netherlands used to be the same but in the 70s they decided to change it and now it's super great for pedestrians and bicyclists.
I've indeed seen videos comparing the US infrastructure to that of some parts of Europe. Some even made a valid point that somewhere in history, USA had the chance to change the infrastructure because of city remodeling.
