I'm British. I've been to Zurich, I've also been to Los Angeles, you could probably put them as being close to diametrically opposite in terms of transport.
I don't really see why they can't both exist. America doesn't have many places like the European capitals, even somewhere like NYC still has pretty wide streets.
I don't personally think that "reducing the amount of driving" in a place that already exists is a justifiable opinion for an individual to have, it's not like we're talking about knife or gun crime here.
A more sensible approach is to increase overall mobility. If that means replacing a lane with
a tram it might make sense. We have a ton of bus lanes here in London and it works well.

Fair enough.
