I know a lot of people define it as a necessity, but I feel that it's a life choice too.
I'd rather sacrifice a lot of other things (eg. rejecting one job vs another) if it makes it so I don't need a car.

I would love to have the privilege of living in a nice and relatively big family house in the suburbs, but I'd rather live in a small cramped apartment farther away from some of my siblings if that means having better transport options without needing to purchase and maintain a car.

I wonder, if everyone had similar preferences, whether the world would adapt to actually make public transport (or alternatively, home office / delivery) as widespread of a commodity as having roads for private vehicles.
