>Paris has an especially exceptional transit system
True but so does the other large European cities I have lived in / visited.
Heck, even the smaller (compared to Paris) French city I studied in has a better public transportation system than SF.

That sounds like a good rule of thumb, thanks, I will keep it in mind :)
Although I don't think there is a real cause/effect relation for Paris. The city has had a good public transport system for a very long time. It probably helps that it is a very touristic city, but even non touristic places have a good subway support (although some lines really need to be modernized).
And to be clear, I don't have a pro-Paris bias. Some other cities like Berlin seem to be way more pro-active in the direction of a car free city.
