Car dependent - like every city in the US without good mass transit.

How many cities have good mass transit except NYC, Washington, DC and Chicago? San Francisco has BART, but it's not great. Most suburbs anywhere require a car for transportation.

Face it, the whole country sucks at mass transit. We have pig vomit capitalism to thank for that.

A GM/oil company consortium purchased the light rail systems in most cities in the US in the 1930's and systematically destroyed them to make money selling cars and gasoline.

The rail systems were replaced by buses, which aren't nearly as efficient or environmentally friendly.
