> Well, in most places in the US you literally can't go without a vehicle if you want employment and food. That's due to zoning laws being the way that they are. If you'd change the way you'd build up and zone things it would be possible. The YouTube channel "Not Just Bikes" goes into this in various videos. I couldn't find the exact video that explained the zoning laws, did find another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul_xzyCDT98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul_xzyCDT98 (kids in Netherlands go to school on their own). Despite Netherlands being considered great for cyclists there's loads to improve. The channel goes into that detail as well, e.g. that major roads are being closed. See e.g. this video of a big road being closed in Utrecht: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fePpwYCs_JM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fePpwYCs_JM (different channel)
