You may be right for most people! I'm sure you're right for yourself. As someone who lives in such a neighborhood (and lived for two years attempting to survive biking and walking among the plentiful parking, wide streets, and zero pedestrians of suburban Los Angeles) you are very wrong for me. Regardless, I just wish that the US government (and the vast majority of state and local governments) would stop making the choice for all of us with massive explicit and implicit subsidies for motor-vehicle-optimized travel.
