The need for car ownership will never change until public transportation improves 10,000%. I am 68 years old and until 2 years ago when my car was destroyed by vandals and made unrepairable I had owned a car since 1971. The only reason I haven't starved to death is thanks to New Hampshire caring for it's elders more than any other state I know of. We have a community action program (free with voluntary donations) for elderly and disabled people to get to doctors and groceries and the like. Without that or a car I'd be dead now.

A lot of that shit is chicken or the egg scenarios, also I will point out in the modern world many areas have grocery delivery services. Now some small town in bum fuck nowhere might not have that but you can easily order groceries from a good number of grocery stores and they will deliver.

But yeah public transportation is heavily not a thing because of the car culture in America. Some cities do have a reasonable public transport and obviously larger cities typically do, but since so many in America buy cars and invest heavily into them it never becomes a major focus.
