In mainstream American culture, the car gave way to access to some of our most inaccessible natural spaces for the enjoyment of the American public who could afford a car. National recreation areas stretching from the Atlantic coasts of New York on the south shore of Long Island to national parks in states as far north as Maine and as far west as Arizona and California m' were personally accessible because I was doing an internship/program or traveling with family to access these fields. My stay in these neighborhoods where I was able to find peace away from the city was made accessible thanks to a vehicle. The automobile also gave way to the expansion of art deco architecture in cities made inaccessible by public transportation because of high-traffic vehicle architecture. From Miami Beach to the crowded streets of Midtown Manhattan to the art deco knockoffs of Buffalo, the glitz of the automobile age pushed Americans to build further and be further apart.
