Somehow cities all over the world manage to offer that kind of facility without oceans of parking lots. Parking takes up space, which pushes things further apart, which makes it impossibly to serve with transit, which demands cars, which requires more parking. Skip the parking and build up and you find that you can have a nice back yard and a bus-stop at the end of the street that will take you to a subway or train-line that will take you to work.
There is nothing magical about big, vertical cities that demands they be horribly expensive. They're expensive because they're rare. They're rare because of city planners who don't push back on developers that want to build sprawl.
