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?

My neighborhood doesn’t have sidewalks, but there’s a grocery store that’s a 15 minute walk away. For anything beyond food or a haircut, you’d have to walk for at least an hour probably much more. We have busses, but they only have 3 stops in town, they’re mostly for going to other towns. There’s also a train station that’s a 20-30 minute walk away. Cars are essentially mandatory here.
