    Systemic? You mean corporations, specific nameable corporations, not some amorphous system.

      yes, specific corporations need to change, but they will not change until they are forced to by the system

      Not necessarily. I, for one, mostly (i.e. at least a little bit >50%) blame the deliberately-low-density zoning code and early FHA policy (e.g. redlining and deliberately recommending car-centric development patterns).

      Did Standard Oil and General Motors have a huge influence? Sure, but they didn’t literally pass the laws.
