There are many cities in the US where it absolutely is required to have a car. Where trains, trams, busses, taxies, bikes, and walking are actually NOT available or feasible because the city does not have the infrastructure in place for them. Your comment comes across as incredibly privileged and ignorant of the reality many people face. And you can say, out of sheer ignorance, something like "well the people living there should change that!". Sure. The single mom just trying to get her kids to school before getting herself to work everyday is going to get right on that.

Didn't realise you were in the US. My apologies, and condolences. You guys have probably been hit the hardest with car dependency. Tbh I can't even imagine what that's like.

I think my comment stands for most of the developed world, but yeah, probably not the US
