This is like this or worse everywhere in my country. It didn't plan well for public transport and enjoyed the income from car sale taxes. I'm not willing to take my life to an entire new state with a different language, different culture and everything else that comes with it just to not use a car.

The lack of running water is not a great example because there is no viable alternative. A car IS a viable alternative, it's just not a great method of doing so efficiently.
