We moved from the US to a developed nation. Sold the car on the way out the door. Haven't looked back. Love living without the car. Our kids are so much safer here. Even the cars that are around driver slower and the roads are human scale so we have wide sidewalks with narrow streets to cross.

I commute by tram and train to work and shopping is mostly done on foot. When we need more, we can always rent a van for a day or do a delivery service. There's also the cargo bike option, which works for upwards of small appliances without much trouble.

When all you have is a car, everything looks like a place to put more roads.
