Why does America's infrastructure prioritize cars over people? In this episode, we're joined by the hosts of The War on Cars podcast to expose the decades of pro-car propaganda that shaped our cities—and discuss how politicians like Zohran Mamdani are fighting back with bold transit plans.

We break down:

🚗 How the auto industry manufactured car dependency

🚇 Why public transportation became a political battleground

🏙️ Mamdani's vision for transit-oriented development

💰 The deadly body count of car-centric urban planning

🔥 What Democrats get wrong about the "war on cars"

This isn't just about transportation—it's about who our cities are built for and who gets left behind.

🎙️ GUESTS: Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon from The War on Cars podcast
