This is also a bugbear for me. Since even in countries with genuinely amazing public transportation (such as Japan), people who live in more rural or remote areas are still up a creek. You might have a bus but you basically have one or two routes per day and if you need to "head into town" at any other time... you need a car.

But there are various youtube channels by rich white people who live in some of the more expensive cities on earth that basically say "fuck the poor" under the guise of better city design. And... don't get me wrong, living in a city with public transportation is amazing and America as a whole REALLY loves unwalkable towns. But there are always going to be situations where private transportation is needed (even if it a few cars that the entire town "shares").
