It's the problem here in LA. Designed for cars, lots of permit parking in some areas (usually more well-off ones with pull) and metered places. We're trying to catch up public transit with demand but unfortunately it still makes sense to have a car to get everywhere you need to go. Buses are stuck in the same traffic (no designated lanes) as you are, cycling can be done but is extremely dangerous, and the metro's current hub-and-spoke is useful if you're going downtown but the amount of stations is less than ideal (some stops more than a mile or so apart).
