As a southerner who's moved to a northern city that expanded before cars blew up in the 50s, I gotta say, I can't ever see myself going back until you can feasibly live without a car. My homecity is now over 600k people, but it's really just a network of highways and avenues/parkways connecting them all. Public transit is underfunded, and only the poorest of the poor use it until they can buy a car. Buying a car is simply a necessity, like a roof over your head. Maybe the freedom of not being trapped in a car to get anywhere interesting costs more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
