For sure, I'd be fine with either walkable/bikeable or decent public transport.
You know, one reason why I've never seriously considered living in the USA (aside from other issues like healthcare) is how car-focused a lot of cities seem to be. There are plenty of countries with solid public transportation, but the US just seems to suck in that department. Im sure other Hexbears have more valuable input on that front.
Obviously, I'd never even think about the USA if I wasn't well-off.
yeah, you are either very poor or looked at as crazy if you dont have a personal automobile in the majority of american cities. and even the poor might be catching a ride with other people, the transit is that bad/nonexistent
You can own and drive a car for as little as ~$400 a month if your insurance is cheap, you don't drive too much, and you don't have collisions or expensive repairs. I usually buy shitboxes that cost less than $2k and hope to get a year of driving out of them before they die.
Which even at it's cheapest, driving is a wild cost compared to like a subway pass or whatever shit y'all public-transit-havers use.
