These people have to be people living out in the suburbs of Portland. Out there sure you need a car but if you're in Portland proper most places have good transit access and are fairly walkable. I say this as someone who lives outside Portland proper but still in the Metro area who drives/bikes out here but when going into the city I generally take transit and walk.

This happens everywhere. I live in a very walkable area, and every time someone replaces a single family home with two townhouses the NIMBYs come out in force and whine about parking. They obviously only care about their own ability to park directly in front of their house, and fear that someone else might park there if more people move to the area.
