Those who live in developments explicitly planned to leverage the fact that people have cars to spread them out further and give each family more land/house for the same money. In these places, everyone who matters politically has a car, everywhere they want to go has parking, roads are huge, etc. so there is no political will for expensive transit, and the surface area is too large to cover effectively with cheap transit.
