If you aren't an American, it may be difficult to understand.
Many cities here are very sprawled out and designed for cars, and therefore they're necessary for economic survival, perhaps more so than a home.
Yes I have been explained/shown some of that. I didn't realize it made the car more of a priority than a home. It's insane, but I guess it checks out
