At best, it'll be a generation or two until this changes and any significant progress is made in turning these places into walkable, bikeable areas (because you need to change all the zoning laws, and then knock stuff down and build more densely for walking and biking to actually be practical; no one's going to bike many miles every time they just want to go grocery shopping or whatever).
