I'd describe the city I live in as "semi-walkable", to use nigger faggot terms. Transit's not quite at NYC's level, but it works in most cases... if you don't value your time, which I do, but I need to get around infrequently enough that it is still a cost I consider lesser than the cost of owning a car. E-bikes should fill the gaps and an increasing amount of people are beginning to realize this, but I'll admit I'm not quite comfortable riding one amidst all the cars quite yet. If I really need to get somewhere quickly, rideshare costs more than owning a car per unit of distance, sure, but -- again -- given how infrequently this is a necessity for me, it still ends up costing less than owning a car per month. If I ever really need full control over a car, I've reasoned that, by similar math, I can just rent one for the short period of time I'll need it for.
The rural area I've my eyes on I should still be able to get by on with just a dirtbike given that everything's unpaved and law enforcement's rather lax anyhow. But we'll see how that plays out.
One thing I can admire about the third world is their general adoption of two-wheelers over cars. If ever they should crawl out of their situation, I reckon that's at least the one thing they should keep the same.
