Car dependency and car related infrastructure are enormously expensive to society. Think of every parking lots needed for people to park their car, motor accident, tire, noise, CO2 pollution, materials needed for repaving and repairing road damage, etc. Soundproofing sounds cheaper, but it's just another additional cost imposed by cars. The sooner we are able to walk or cycle or use public transit, the better off we are collectively for many reasons.
