I think I’m far from alone from in preferring car-free urban living if the cost of housing were even close and if the schools were as good (they are in a few places! But the cost of housing…)
I don’t like cars and sprawl. That’s not why I “choose” them.
Exactly, you want space and a community that shares your values. And car ownership makes that possible and you’d rather that than the trade off. This is how most people feel.
