I only agree in case of disabled people, but if you live in a modern city with good PT (so not in the US ;), you have no need for a car.

Young children? They can use PT. It's a normal thing to do in my city (Austria). What about grocery shop? I mean, surely you have groceries around you so you can just ... walk there? go there by bike?

People who can not think of a no-car life just have never enjoyed good public transport.

Or if you have a reasonably large family and prefer to grocery shop once a week or so ... of course you could walk there and back five times instead of one ride and waste some time.

Or what if the place with the best prices and the best choice is too far to walk, maybe even too far to bike comfortably? Tends to happen in some places.
