Its not a generalization. This is what suburb sprawl means: https://www.treehugger.com/understanding-suburban-sprawl-409...

The no.1 factor is single-use zoning. This means people live in a certain zone, and commerce happens in another zone. No amount of personal anecdotes will affect this fact.

It is a generalization to assert "Suburbia means that every trip out of the house will require a car", when it is easy to show there are counterexamples where this is not true.

One could say "There are suburban areas where every trip requires a car" and that's a true statement. The generalization is not a true statement.
