Either change the local policies around transportation through local government, or move somewhere more sustainable.
You choose where you live, and your participation your local politics and economy.
People say they don’t have a choice, but people move away for a better life all the time.

Some people can. Generalization like that ignores what some people are born into, and blames them when they can't break out of it.

Everyone can change if pushed hard enough. Would you just die if a natural disaster wiped out your entire city/state and you were forced to relocate elsewhere? No, you would not. So it’s clearly possible.
