The issue is that habits only change so much, because people are reluctant to give up all of the convenience of personal transportation just for the sake of "going car-free". For example, not havig a car is fine until your place of work is 10km out and using public transportation takes 1h whereas driving by car takes 10 minutes. Taking a bike or e-bike works, of course, unless it's raining or snowing or stormy, in which case you really want a fully enclosed (and heated) ride. I'm sure you can find some "but in that case just do X" for all those cases, but the point still stands that all these issues only exist because you ditched the car, even if it's just a small electric one. Designing a city/suburb/community that outright bans cars (by not providing any parking spaces) only works for a very small minority of the population
