I feel bad for the younger generations. This whole car culture and at most places being mandatory is just bad.
I am fortunate to live in a city with decent public transit. I could have owned a car back in 2018 but I put that on standby indefinitely. The money I saved went into buying a house. And now, a bigger house.
I wish it was possible not to own a car in the US. But our infrastructure is built so poorly that it is actually impossible.

I feel the same. Even in a state as populated as NJ the public transit system is mediocre unless you are going into NYC.
I only live about 6 miles from my job. If I rode my bike, I’d probably get killed on the road I’d have to take to get to work.
