I don't have a driver's license, but I have made lifestyle choices so I can walk, bike, and take transit to most of my destinations. There is the odd destination where I'll use ride hailing, but I avoid it.
I would give anything to be able to ride my bike to work, but it's just so dangerous where I live because of all the cars :(
Yeah, I was lucky enough to be in Portland already, so I was already in a decent position. From there, I needed to make housing choices that put me along bus lines and safe bike routes. That took some real planning and a price premium on our house. My takeaway was that I want everyone in the US to have this sort of transit/bike/pedestrian access, not just an upper middle class DINK couple (me).
