It's almost a tautology to say that if you want to have a particular kind of nice neighborhood you'll have to include those uses in your planning.

I think that most people want to be able to get from A to B in comfort, and are not necessarily married to one particular mode of transport.

If the only way to get anywhere is by car, then of course people want to transport themselves by car. If you offer other competitive options, people will sometimes take those options instead.
