you’re talking about housing, not cars.

buying a f 150 vs a honda civic is the issue. not the existence of suburbs.

and please, i live in a city that needs no cars, and people here are still racist as fuck. often the non-car owners are the most virulent racist because they are the most self righteous and get angry at the immigrants who need a car to drive to clean their $5 million dollar home… and the irony is tops with those folks.
