But they will probably use their cars much less if they walk a couple blocks to get them--especially if they walk past many shopping amenities and transit access on the way.
The on-premises share cars are brilliant, and I suppose more can be added as needed. Many carfree people use rental cars two to four times per year, not per month.
Besides, I think the point is that the inhabitants are committed to using cars much less or not at all. This building is designed to be convenient for people who are already carfree, or want to be.
