Not Flushing, but we used to go to Bensonhurst a lot.  (Kings Hwy and Ave. P)  There was a stretch of street where there were about a thousand hub-caps in the bushes because of the broken up asphalt and pot holes so big they could swallow an elephant.  

I must say we drove directly in, visited my wife's grandmom for Passover, ate, and got out of Dodge!  Beltway to Bay Ridge to Ave. P and Grandmom's. Drove around the block a few times to find parking.  We never deviated from that for fear of getting lost in Brooklyn.

If your town has a density of 5000 people per square mile, but everyone lives in town and the surrounding areal has density orders of magnitude lower, no one has to drive that much!  Here in NJ, it seems that everyone lives here and works there...
