Garages are expensive to build and if you design your roads so that no person with the means would choose anything but driving and ignore the rest, then sprawl becomes the reasonable choice, since people are driving to every destination anyway. What’s the point of the added expense of a garage if you don’t really care about being close to other things nearby?
