You lived in a big European city. Feel free to tell someone living in rural France, or Ireland, that they must live without an automobile.
- vinni2 5y agoIt’s not impossible. Public transport is generally good in most European towns and cities. I have lived in second tier European cities for 12 years without needing to own a car. I still occasionally rent cars when I need to transport a lot of stuff.
- themgt 5y agoFeel free to tell someone living in rural France, or Ireland, that they must live without an automobile. Well, I didn't. I lived in European towns/cities from ~10k to 350k people. Rural areas exist obviously but compared to US suburbs or even most US urban areas we're talking far far smaller % of people who need a car for most aspects of day-to-day life in Europe.
