It does in the US too.

  A big problem in the US is that many developers still view trains as an extension to driving. The result is that they end up building a huge car park next to the train station, with low-density suburbia around it. Many other countries essentially end up building a suburban core around the commuter train station, with high-density housing, shops, and midrise office buildings.

    I live in a country where train stations are often surrounded by high-density developments. What most tourists don't notice is that there are massive multi-level parking lots underneath all that housing and office buildings, not to mention the train station itself. So you can have both high-density development around train stations and car parks for people who need to drive. It's not an XOR situation. The U.S. just tends to be wasteful with its land, because it has so much of it.
