I'm from Texas, this isn't feasible. If you need to get from anywhere to any place else you're driving there. Depending on where you are busses may be hit or miss & may not even be an option. Pretty happy to live in a place now where I haven't needed to drive for years.
I know multiple people who don't even have a driver's license (and before I get comments about 'Europoors' -- No, it's not because of money, lol), including myself. Never needed one. Within the city I can walk, go by bike, there's buses and trams. For traveling farther (also internationally), there are trains. Most of the time I just walk everywhere. Multiple supermarkets within walking distance, train station within walking distance, bus stop in front of my door, tram stop 1 minute away.
My husband does have a license, but we own no car.
Can't imagine being forced to drive a car due to lack of other options. For a population very obsessed with so-called freedom, Americans seem to accept and demand very little freedom sometimes.
