Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not sure that you could go much further than NYC without making private car ownership impossible for most, though. Maybe that's the point. Despite having a good transport network overall (I live in London), it's just such an integrated part of my life to be able to jump in the car and go and visit friends say 50 miles away that I can't imagine ever wanting to give that up. I'd rather have that than the fancy downtown bars. Am I old? :)

The point that always seems to get lost in these discussions is that it really shouldn't be an either/or thing. There's no reason you can't still have a car for journeys that make sense to drive while having great alternatives so you aren't forced to use a car for every single trip, which would be a huge transportation improvement over what exists now in the vast majority of American cities.
