Density is the solution. Dense urban areas are the most economically viable portions of a city/town. Large parking lots and wide 4 or 6 lane roads are subsidized on the the otherhand.

Bring places closer that people want to be, no need to build a home in a field and then a Walmart 40min away on the opposite side of town. Only to then need to subsidize the road and parking to get between the two points.

How the fuck do you get from the carpark to the stadium in the upper picture? Park you car and then hail a taxi?

I've been to some attractions in america that have shuttles for their massive surface level parking lots
