I find Midwestern cities are a good balance for that. In Milwaukee now and it's very easy/cheap to own a car (which we do) but most day to day needs are easily done without it. My wife and I combined drive a bit more than once a week on average, and most trips are either out of town or "the weather is mildly annoying and I don't feel like walking/biking today." I know a lot of families living a similar 0-1 car life here too.
