Nothing is more limited on travel than not having a car and being forced to bump uglies with strangers to get anywhere. Public transport has its purpose but it fucking sucks even when it's at its best. Walking is fine but I'm not carrying 15 bags of groceries by hand. There's a time and place for it. Bikes kinda suck and are extremely dangerous. If we had the infrastructure to make them safer that'd help some, but it's all of the annoyance of walking with a lot more risk.

Cars are awesome. They just should be used to move between walkable centers more. The endless suburbs with nothing to walk to are a horrible design and an abomination. That's the real problem with American cities.

What if you could have a car, and also enjoy the option of using effective public transit? 

The whole shopping trip thing is also an issue that has been more or less solved in countries and cities where use of public transit and walkable spaces are more commonplace. If you're walking by the grocery store several times a week, you likely won't have as many as 15 bags at a time, at least not very often. I think that you and I are used to the way grocery shopping works for the average American. I have to drive to get groceries, and so I get a lot of them at a time to limit trips. But if I could just strut over to a corner store to pick up necessities, I dont really need to go out of my way to buy a lot of them at a time because they are always accessible with little to no hassle.

I'm also confused about how bikes are "dangerous". In the US I could agree, but that's because you're maneuvering around cars on roadways. I'd argue that makes cars the dangerous aspect of traveling by bike. Just doing some quick rookie math, if we experienced the same fatality rate as the Netherlands (typically the example of successful bike infrastructure) adjusted for the difference in population, we'd have something roughly around 4000 bike related fatalities each year, which pales in comparison to the like 40k traffic deaths we currently have every year in the US. Bikes are inherently lower speed, and are thus safer as speed is the most common contributing factor to traffic related casualties.

I could not agree more about suburbs though.
