Rigged question: would you rather live in a big house or an apartment? Obviously people will choose a big house duuuh
I would rather live in a big house/apartement in walkable area than a big house/apartment in a car dependant area. But thats not the question they asked.
Exactly if I can have the same house with actually more garden space as I dont need a car I'd choose that every time.
Even then it's not a very useful question as car =/= car. Having a house with a prius that you use once in a blue moon to visit your grandma in the country side is very different from driving a pickup truck every day.
Daily driving a non-passenger work vehicle family passenger vehicle.

Another alternative is a row house. It's bigger than an apartment, you actually own it with no HOA bullshit, you park on the street (though I have to pay the vast sum of about $30 a year for the privilege). And you can live in or near the city center, where you can find every kind of pub, restaurant or shop and where you can get trains or buses anytime.
