So much this. It's infuriating to have to get in a car every time you want to go outside your neighborhood.
I recommend moving to a city
In the US, it's really only NYC and Chicago that have functioning public transit. If you can't go to one of those, you're pretty much out of luck. It's not like in Europe where every little small to mid-size town has light rail and train connections all over.
You're funny.
I have managed Denver and San Francisco many times without a car.
The question isn't about managing, but about convenience. In some cities, public transportation is more convenient than going out and getting a car and dealing with parking and all that noise. That should be the goal, not "it's manageable."
