Well, we are lucky here in that unless you live in a real rural area, most of the time you can get rid of your car and live just fine. I walk everywhere, sold my car a year ago and never looked back. Everywhere here, at least south coast, is walkable for pedestrians. All grocery stores do home delivery. Trains are going through strike action constantly it seems, but they do exist and work fine most of the time, bus network is actually good in my area.
I have an almost unbroken pedestrian walk for a full 20 miles stretch - and that’s just walking past the main towns, not including time in them. And these towns contain buildings from the 1500s - didn’t have cars back then, and a load of the old town layouts are still present in my area. No cars were around back then, and they’re just as walkable now.
Not like America where jaywalking exists and you literally can’t walk anywhere in car-centric places
Edit: didn’t even mention the other thing we have here - bike hire, everywhere. I can bring up the app on my phone and see where the nearest bike/electric bike/electric scooter is, walk there, tap its panel with my phone to unlock and off I go. I do that when I’m being lazy. I’ve just checked and there are six bikes available down my road in the nearest bay.
Well that’s a bit shit.
