It’s not even that bad. If you go to Houston, there are plenty of parts which are so walking/transit focused you don’t need a car.

I’d argue the real reason people have cars is because if rent for a nice 1-bed only costs 700-1500 it doesn’t make sense to not also own a car. When people talk about a city that’s not “car-obsessed”, they’re usually referring to some place where even the wealthy can barely afford a car.
