It becomes a 'right tool for the job' situation.
When we lived in Italy we:
* Walked to the grocery store, nearby pizza place, kids' schools, doctor and barber. Because it's not illegal (zoning) to build those things near where people live!
* Rode bikes downtown when the weather was decent
* Took the tram downtown with the kids.
* Took the car to go hiking in the hills or go visit my wife's parents in a small town 30 minutes away.
