I moved away to Europe where there are none of those things and my child can walk himself over to a park 10x the size of an American backyard.
The chaos and noise (especially the car noise) are just an explicit choice American cities have made.
I really hope you get the irony of being a suburbanite complaining about there being too many cars in cities when most of those cars are suburbanites who’ve given up on improving the public transit in their cities.
I live in Europe. Each country is different but every large city is more or less the same. Sure you can’t compare London with Copenhagen for example but even in the latter case suburban life is much calmer.
