That's such an odd notion. Who was supposed to stop it? American cities have gotten shitty urban design because that's what the majority of the residents of those places demanded, either directly or unwittingly. But that's all a discussion better for /r/urbanplanning

More like because that’s what auto manufacturers lobbied for. America had a long and storied history of auto manufacturers squishing public transit

Yeah, so the area around Wenatchee is largely rural and the trains from Quincy and Waterville don’t run all that often. People need to get into town somehow.

There's that one Fred Meyer that only seems accessible via the highway. If you think of it as a really inconvenient rest area, it kind of makes sense.
