The US has a lot of places that are car-dependent. You can live in walkable areas, but those can also have much higher cost of living. Where did you end up on that spectrum for where you live right now?

Northeast metro area (NYC/NJ), haven’t owned a car in about 25 years. Mainly walk to places but I also take the train/bus as needed.
When I go out to the suburbs via train I do usually end up driving around with family. (their car)
Metro area is HCOL but not having a car has saved me a huge amount of money, people tend to act like the car is a separate expense not related to the rest of your bills like rent/property taxes, utilities, all that.
