Yeah that’s what Europe has done. You never need a car to go anywhere. Every place is well connected by public transport.
USA is however designed differently. even if there is a grocery store or Walmart right next to your residence it will be separated by a green wall and then connected with a round about ending in a parking lot.
Apart from New York and few other cities most of the American cities have gone to great lengths so you don’t have to step out of your car.
