The point of the article is that parking takes up tons of space and costs. These are resources that could go towards more infrastructure, especially public transportation. (buses for example could get their own lane, speeding them up) In my city there are proposals for new bike lanes all the time, but they are never implemented because drivers complain that they would take away parking. In general I feel that the article is mostly talking about cities, but I see no reason why you couldn't have buses and trains in Texas. (sprawl just means that some people might have to walk a bit before accessing these) And I can guarantee you people still cycle in Texas. It just requires bringing ample water and taking precautions from succumbing to the heat.
