My perspective is coming from Denmark. Around most of the country, a car is essential. Most of the country is farmland. People live on this farmland, and without a car, getting to work, buying groceries, getting to the doctor, is simply not feasible.

I don’t own a car, because I live in a city, but I grew up somewhere, where you can’t live without a car.

So why do people live out there? Because they’re farmers, construction workers and everything else an area with a lot of agriculture needs.
