lack of public transportation, sidewalks and bikepaths, making cars the only option to get around.

Right, but not forced since OP literally said "Funny, living in cities that prioritize other modes of transport (biking, buses, trains, etc) has drastically improved my quality of life"

it's forced since i need to live where the jobs are, and kids who can't drive need to live where their parents are.

we all need to be able live together, and just as a completely carless city is unrealistic, a car only city is no better, but the latter unfortunately is often the reality.

It’s certainly still an option. Just an option you’re not willing to trade off for.

I live without a car. Public transit suffices, I walk my kid to school.

same here, but i have also lived in places where this wasn't an option.
