Car dependency is a symptom. People aren't car dependent because they're addicted to cars, they're car dependent because where they live is super spread out.
Cars are a problem but forcefully excising them is both a political nonstarter and just makes life harder for everyone. People will choose to not own cars once it's feasible to do so.
