Your last sentence is interesting.

Even having it all sorted for day to day living. You still have a car to go somewhere else.

I feel the same here in Australia. Much of our day to day living doesn't need a car. Some of our friends though are in small country towns that would be a big hassle to visit without a car.

I’d love if I could take the train to the mountains, but the US (and Australia) is a large place with low overall density, so cars make sense for some travel.

But few American communities are planned with minimizing car use as a key tenet. I’m lucky to live in one that is.
