I think the bigger issue is the need for a car. In most of the US, everything is built with the assumption you'll be driving to it (workplaces, stores, facilities, etc).
So everyone has to have a car. So your social mobility is limited by the fact that you need to have the money for the expenses that go with it in the first place.
3-4 cities with decent to good transit are the exception, but the fact that they're so desirable and with such high housing prices means that they aren't really accessible either.
