Nobody is saying that car use isn't common, just that it commonly overestimated. I've predominately used means of transit other than cars over the last decade.

Nobody is saying that car use isn't common, just that it commonly overestimated. I've predominately used means of transit other than cars over the last decade. That means that stores that are located more remotely with less dense parking are less likely to get my business. In addition, "high parking" stores are very frequently built in areas where pedestrian access simply doesn't exist because of a lack of sidewalks, cross walks, etc. I think it makes sense to accommodate both use cases by promoting centralized, density preserving parking structures even if it requires car users to walk a little further their final destination.
