I mean I would like it to be even more inconvenient to own a car and I personally would be fine with walking 30 minutes to reach my car (because I would never think of car commuting) but that's not where society is at.
The lack of garage capacity is a result of breaking the market on garage space by providing some people free storage on the streets.
As for "where we are as a society", I don't disagree, the transition is hard, I'm talking only of the destination. The frustrating part is few of us have even agreed on that destination, let alone figure out a route.
But we are quickly reaching a point where the trip is going to be far more jarring than it could have been if we'd faced reality sooner.
