"Better" in the colloquial sense of "more than"; my neighborhood averages more than two cars per household, or so I estimate. I am simply pointing out that it is very possible to be liberal and not hostile to cars. I don't know downtown Brooklyn, but within the week I walked in Park Slope about 10 at night. Many years ago I was regularly on public transportation after 11 pm. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says that there were 36 deaths in 34 crashes in Washington, DC, during 2020, for what that's worth.
