I think very few people are saying "no cars, ever!". We have one and find it very useful, like you say.

What many people are realizing is that cars should not be the be-all and end-all of urban design in the US.

Hong Kong is fucking awesome to get around. Why not moving sidewalks like they have there with the Midlevels Escalators? I used that to walk from Midlevels to Central every day and loved it.

NYC has a population density of 10,831 people/km^2.

San Francisco has a population density of 7,124 people/km^2.

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make, but I don't think anybody really wants to plan the rural areas of the US in the image of Hong Kong.
