Saw a meme recently about how US cities weren't built for the car, they were destroyed for the car. And I often think "but California was mostly built up post WWII", and then there are reminders, like this, that even cities like Santa Rosa were destroyed for the car.
Might make a fun afternoon to map out the parking lots and 1 story bank buildings in Petaluma that sit on the sites of once grander multi-story buildings.
