I walk to the store and buy groceries and then walk home. No cab, delivery service, or drone needed. Sometimes I shop at a store closer to the office and bring what I buy home on the bus [which is typically how I get to/from work].
Right, exactly. Some of these replies are incredible! Absolutely if you live somewhere more remote you'll need a car, but for people in urban areas...?
I've lived in several quite different cities over the last decade and haven't owned a car the entire time and have managed to buy groceries just fine. No Amazon Fresh or eating out regularly required...
Sure, you can live pretty much anywhere without a car - but you are now in the extreme minority trying to make that work and likely are making significant lifestyle changes/sacrifices to do so. I grew up without a car in my household in a very midwest giant-suburb style metro area, and it was truly a different lifestyle. I would not go back to that.
However, living in Chicago without a car is an amazing liberating experience, not the hinderance it was elsewhere.
