I think people are misinterpreting what I mean by “need a car” I was saying that in some cities it is possible to exist in areas of the city without a car and access most daily needs, I did not mean that it would be ideal to live without a car and I did not mean that travel outside the city would be easy, what I was saying is, in New York, Seattle, Boston, Chicago, the Bay Area, DC, Portland Oregon, or Philadelphia, you likely do not need a car to exist, not that that it would be the best life ever.
