I mean, I agree to some extent, but there's also no public transport service to the place I'm buying a house other than a single bus that runs twice a day for taking kids to school.

Then that would either create pressure to have more public transport, or affect the prices on the homes as people would prefer to live accessible. Changes don't happen in a vacuum, they bring other changes with them.

No public transport and not enough space to have off-street parking is a pretty terrible combination.

If there's no car storage and it's impossible to live without a car it might be better as grazing land, meadow, or similar.
