I lived for years without a car but sadly most of the country isn’t amenable to biking, walking, bus, etc. I now live in what I call country’ish and if you don’t have a car, you’re straight fucked. No car means no way to get to stores, work (assuming you don’t work from home), etc. Now I drive for a living but we would still need at least one car in our household if we didn’t want to continually over pay for groceries being delivered, need to go to Dr appointments, etc.
