One problem I believe is zoning related. There is a lot of residential-only zoning and not enough mixed use zoning, which only encourages people to drive long distances to do their grocery runs. Where I lived, it was over a mile walk to the local grocery store. The only other closer option was the gas station on Richmond Terrace, which was such a dangerous intersection I often drove just for the safety factor... More true corner grocery stores/ delis / pizza shops, would do wonders for relieving traffic congestion. I grew up on Staten Island and it was a very car centric, suburban life out there.
