This is definitely part of it. I feel like suburbs and urban development don't help either. People don't work where they live anymore so it's expected to live on one side of the city and work on the other side.

Suburbs used to be build around something like a factory or an industrial area. Now you live in one place, shop in another, and work somewhere else
