Actually the majority of Americans live in the suburbs, 55%. 31% live in urban / metro environments, and 14% live in rural areas according to Pew Research:
Where I live is classified as “rural” by Pew’s map but I live in town, and I have easy access to groceries and restaurants. It takes me about 20 minutes to commute to work by car. Life is good here.
suburbs are essentially sprawled urban areas that are predicated on bad design and requiring a car.
Suburbs are design with the implicit assumption that people will need a car. No car and require public transit? Tough shit, good luck with whatever current routes may or may not exist.
Suburbs are part of cities, and are the parts which have higher rates of car ownership. Being able to commute into a city by car is the entire point of a suburb.
Suburbs are generally towns adjacent to cities, by their literal definition and municipal boundaries. You are probably saying they are part of cities to fit the narrative that “most people live in cities” which is not accurate when you look at the actual concrete data.
The traffic jam is the reality for the vast majority of car owners. Most people live in cities, and they’re only too crowded because cars are too big.

Most city-livers don’t own cars. If they do, they can go find open roads. They just have to get out of the city.
