Yeah, I've lived in London and New York (not in the suburbs of either) without a car and there was multiple of everything within a short walk, and huge amounts of stuff (literally thousands upon thousands of things to do) everywhere in less than half an hour on the train. It was and is great. Not sure which cities the person you're replying to is talking about. I imagine a lot of American cities just suck without a car, even if they "have" public transportation.
