> They can walk, ride, bike, phone a friend, relative etc

Yeah they can walk in a city without sidewalks. They can bike in a city without any bike infrastructure. They can ride in a city without busses. Sure sounds effective and safe.

You're blind to reality if you think the average American city and town is actually designed to get by with people walking or biking or riding public transit.

Let's say you live here:

You can't legally drive for whatever reason now. How do you get to your job in Plano? How do you go get groceries? It's a 40 minute bicycle ride each way to the closest grocer. There is no transit.
