Asking most Americans to go car free isn’t realistic.

But I think asking for the kinds of development that reduce the need for and length of car trips, as a choice of place to live, is reasonable.

There’s also a vast gulf between a car-free household and the current situation where many suburban households have 3+ cars due to two working adults plus children in high school or college, each of which needs their own car every day.

On this I fully agree, and is largely what I mean with my lead-in. It sucks how much we have to drive around. Back when I lived in the middle of a city, it was remarkably nice how much I could do without a car. I still opened up more options when I had one, is the only point I'm making.
