Then you need mass transit to pick up the slack, otherwise there's just as much pollution and waste.

Living downtown typically means a lot more walking, biking, and public transit, precisely because you're there in the middle of everything. When you've got everything from grocery stores, pubs, cafes, parks, cultural attractions, etc all within walking distance, your need to drive anywhere becomes occasional at most.
