We have public transport, but honestly bus schedules and shit are a headache, and everything is so spread out, its not like you can just walk to a corner store and get some food or something, every time you want to do anything at all, you are going to have to catch a bus.
If your day was extremely regimented you might be able to survive.
There are of course places you can live that are near stuff, but its usually in the bad parts of town.

There's a difference between "functioning" and "convenient". By definition for Americans, having to take the bus for anything is regarded as inconvenient. The public transportation is perfectly functional though, if you have to get a ride someplace you can, that's not hard.
Nothing that the other anon said can be taken to mean that American public transportation is not "functional", those of us who have had access to cars at some point in our lives just regard it as a pain in the ass / a step down in status.

$428,000 per Volvo? What a ripoff. No wonder they're not paying.
>>55703214
The price goes up every year of course. It was not that much 1974, but 42 years later it's adding up..

If Israel was in Argentina (or any other continent than it is now) do you think there would be as many problems?
>>55702666
western US you really would not want to depend on it because you are going to be using it any time you need to leave your house for anything at all. In the older parts of america im sure its fine.
Depending on where exactly you live you might be able to get by with it and a bicycle though
