It's interesting info for sure, but I don't think we should be particularly surprised at the massive difference between planning and execution.
If 'The City' was really committed to serving the needs of the population, we'd see higher density neighborhoods filled with mass transit. There has been some lip-service quality planning around this idea, but like everything else, no action will be actively pursued until ignoring it (for the cause de jour) is no longer possible.
