Yeah I personally think you do all you can to 'encourage' people to take transit, but I don't think 'forcing' people not to have cars works.
But hey I'm more of a carrot than a stick guy.
Where I live in Cabbagetown you can live 80% of the week on bicycle, walking, transit. I take TTC to/from work each day. But with 2 young kids there are times you need a car or the outting would be an ENORMOUS hassle. I'd never want to live somewhere where I had to have a car for everything (i.e. suburbs) but likewise I wouldn't buy where I was actively discouraged from driving those 20% of a time things.
Anyway, I know most of Urban_Toronto disagrees with this. And I still love you all.
Pretty much how I was until I had kids as well. Unless your origin and destination are near the core, it's very hard to get things done with kids.
