Because anti-car people understand that it is absurd to (mainly in cities) sacrifice so much space, environment, and health to accommodate car people's laziness. People living in the city have to sacrifice clean air to support the suburban car commutes. This is absurd. Many car-minded people are simply to lazy to take alternative modes of transportation, even if they exist and are really well implemented (as they are in most European cities).

The Netherlands does this properly. But as a European having traveled to the USA it is mind boggling how car centric cities are. With all the inefficient and extremely costing infrastructure investments car centric cities require.

A solution for people like you would be to park your car near the city borders and take public transport. But I don't know a single car owner who isn't too lazy to just drive straight into the city.

Having designed our cities around the car will be really frowned upon in the future. It's crazy how much people who use alternative modes of transportation sacrifice (in tax and health) to support this.

I live in central valley, California. When I want to visit downtown san Francisco, or SFO Airport, 99% of the times I park at first Bart Station, and use Bart from there. The only time I go not is if I am picking a couple of family with lots of luggage.

So, now you know a car driver who drives about 16k miles a year, and also is not lazy enough to park at city borders & use public transport. & Bart Parking is almost always 60+% full.
