You just need to choose to live in an appropriate location.

Again, it's a choice.

You just need to relocate, find affordable housing (lol), find a new job at that new place, convince your partner, potentially rip away your kids from their environment, move far away from family and friends, find a completely new social circle and then you'll finally be able to live car-free! Except all the times you'll now have to rent one.

Like, seriously? It is not always just a choice, you're just god damn privileged to be easily able to move. Let alone to a pricy place with quality infrastructure.
