This is highly location dependent with how unequal the US transit infrastructure is. It'd help to add your city for anecdotes to mean much.

I lived in Columbus Ohio as an exchange student and I really disliked the car-centric nature of...everything.

I wish it had better public transport in general but I honestly wish that about pretty much any place.

		Typing this from a suburb of Columbus now. COTA provides decent service to get around in the downtown and directly adjacent neighborhoods, but it drops off sharply as soon as you get outside of that area. Part of the problem is the typical US sprawl of the place. The area inside the beltway is ~200 square miles - https://urbandecisiongroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/fc... I live just outside the beltway. Driving to the OSU stadium just north of downtown would take me about 25 minutes. According to Google maps, the nearest COTA stop is a 20 minute walk away, then it's an hour and ten minutes to get to the stadium. Agreed it would be lovely to be able to hop on a bus or train and get somewhere within a reasonable amount of time.
