Very few people actually need a car. The status quo in most cities is that car use is extremely subsidized through free parking. Remove the subsidy and allow people to pay the cost for their choices.

Might be true in Paris, but not in all cities. Most cities don't have the transport system to allow a serious about not having a car. Most cities are pretty small though, the bigger the city the more likely it is to have a transport system.

This isn’t correct at all. If you look at cities by population and/or density pretty much all global cities, from SF to Lima to Tokyo have sufficient transit and non-car mode share.

Most cities have a fraction of that population. The cities you named are a minority of the cities in the world.
