Obviously public transit is far less convenient, and not always an option depending on where you live.

Public transit in the US is drastically underfunded, in favor of massive subsidies for cars and arrangements requiring cars. Compare to much of Europe.
I totally agree, but the reality is that if you don't have a car then you won't be able to easily commute in most cities. I'd love for this to change, but a few individuals choosing to suffer by not having a car isn't going to help anything.
Maybe individualism is the root of the problem?
You might be right, but the United States is a very individualist society, so now the question is essentially how do you reshape a society?
