If you want to go deep on parking policy, here's a talk by Donald Shoup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0gokb4rPik
Even Downtown Brooklyn, one of the best connected areas by public transit in NYC, has minimum parking requirements to this day. Manhattan used to as well: they were only lifted in the 80s as a response to federal regulation requiring cities to have better air quality. (Manhattan went even further and added parking maximums, which is very rare.)
In NYC, this is one reason (among others) landlords often don't demolish old buildings to replace them with newer ones: old ones were grandfathered and predated parking minimums. Demolishing and replacing them means you have to build parking. In many places, old buildings are already at the max height allowed by zoning, so demolishing a building means replacing residential square footage with parking. You'd actually be removing housing from a city in a housing crisis if you followed regulations!

I've been to Bentonville (~2016) quite a bit for work, always said I'd go to Fayetteville next time. Bentonville wasn't anything worth writing about for how I want to live but I can see it being an attractive place for quite a lot of people, I was kind of surprised by how underpopulated it seemed. I guess not a lot of jobs outside of the obvious few. Crystal Bridges was a great museum, the Ozarks are lovely. In general I felt a lot more positive visiting that area than I was expecting to.
