I imagine that itronitron's point is that the issue of parking as presented in the article is a typically American feature. Many other countries deal with it differently.
Well, its not capitalized in the article title, nor does capitalizing it make sense in context, and the original title makes sense just fine. So no?
Also Canada, the UK, many parts of Europe...
Car-centricity may be worse in the US, but it's not unique to the US.
