When you build cities which requires cars to get around then owning a car is almost essential. When a city is built around other forms of transportation, not so much. All the insurmountable problems like rain and sun happen in the places where bikes are common, it turns out people are just fine without their cars when the infrastructure is good enough.
The big problem with car friendly infrastructure is it takes up so much space, it makes almost every other form of transportation more dangerous and slower.
