That's exactly my experience living on North Shore of Nassau County, Long Island, NY. I don't have a car.
A primary factor which permits me to live without a car is in-town taxi service (not Uber). Shopping, laundry, etc. are all within 20 minute walk. The town is compact, unlike most suburban sprawl.
Previous to COVID I commuted 4 days to Midtown by rail, which was ~1.25h one way. Now I work from home.
I consider the Ami an ideal vehicle to fit my lifestyle, and would be much more desired if the in town taxi service were 2+ times more expensive, if I needed to go out more, and if the weather was more reliably rainy or cold and icy, and if needed to wear 'adult clothes' which I didn't wish to ruin walking in dirty streets.
