Bikes, (non humiliating) public transport, and more compact city design all have to work together.

I think cars in small towns are pretty sweet - but they suck for everyone in big cities. They take up huge amounts of space during rush hour, and move very few people compared to any form of transit you like

I don't disagree with that. And it's one of the biggest reasons I don't live in a city.

It's a local government issue that your public transportation and public zoning sucks.

Cars aren't the problem (as you pointed out, they are sweet in towns).

It's your local politicians and it's a scaling problem.
