I bought my first vehicule at 32, when I moved to the US.
Prior to that I was relying on public transportation, renting something for vacation, and coordinating with others.
In the US that was not sustainable.
- aperson_hello 4y agoThe US is absolutely massive - and in some places, this is absolutely not true and you can use public transport for everything AND it's better than driving. And in other places, the nearest public transport is hours away (by car!!).
- dopidopHN 4y agoYeah, we have cities too. It’s just that there is trains between them. Or buses that are not greyhound. By « we » I mean Europe. It’s small, but large enough. And yeah, density, yadada … It’s fine. Différents place, different organizations. You guys also have a massive army so you will end up being right.
- aperson_hello 4y agoThere are also a whole lot of places places in the US that no one would call a city or even a town. And a whole awful lot of people live in those places! Rural in the US often means living an hour or more drive from the nearest place with a real grocery store.
- tartoran 4y agoThat’s totally doable in a big city such as NYC. Been in here for 20 years and never owned a car. I do drive occasionally and rent a car for a few days to a week. Always works out for me and my non glamorous lifestyle.
