Yeah I know there is areas in the US that have decent infra for non-car people. Boston has been mentioned quite often. I know a guy who grew up in Boston, now lives in Detroit and he is cursing his life all the time because he is so dependent on his car. He said that he can get to work in 1 hour with car, over 4 hours with public trans. Blew my mind.
