That's definitely not true. I live in a city where a third of households are carless, believe me, with the neglected state of transit and pedestrian infrastructure, it's not a choice for most. I wouldn't hesitate to say that's the case in almost every American city outside NYC. But we should be talking about designing our society around more bikes, transit and walking. Transportation should be accessible to everyone - those too young for a license, too handicapped to walk or drive, those unable to afford a car. I think our health, environment, liviability and community would all be done a great service by demphasizing the single passenger car and it's accessories (sprawl, acres of parking, endless noise, pollution and isolated commutes)
