>Zoning laws in USA also make basic amenities require a 10-30 minute drive
This one is mostly a myth. You can tell a complete retard the minute he starts drooling on about "zoning" being the reason for America's car-centric infrastructure. The average distance from a grocery store is like 3-4 miles(<10 minutes), and that number is inflated by people who choose live far away on purpose (or they live on a farm).

Non-Americans accustomed to smelling their neighbors' farts from their living room and walking to get groceries 4+ times per week experience culture shock trying to do the same thing in the US, but "10-30 minute drive for basic shit" is an exaggeration. If you live 30 minutes from groceries it's because you chose to live someplace very rural.

>Tokyo vs LA
LA is suffering from extreme mismanagement and illegal immigration. LA's uniquely fucked car-centric design is the least of its problems right now.
