What if you ever want to leave the city limits? You're trapped and you're pretending that you're not.

Rent a car from outlying rental places? That negates the need for central urban high rise dwellers to own cars.

Car owners could (say) use outlying parking towers.

To travel there are buses, trains, aircraft, boats, etc.

Not owning a car is common in many parts of the world.

In case you're being serious, you rent a car or take an Uber. A metropolis might as well be defined by its lack of car ownership.

Even when you're renting or being driven, you go as far as you can via train. (The Metro-North goes to an Appalachian trailhead [1].) It's safer, simpler, cheaper and nobody has the deadweight loss of being unpaid chauffeur.

Hrmm, so you do need a car after all. It's really amusing listening to people from the Bay Area pass down edicts for how everyone else should use transportation, given that their decrees are a complete non-starter in well over 99% of the United States. Calling it "out of touch" would be a bit generous.

You take a bus or a train or a subway or a plane or a bike or you rent a car or you roadtrip with your friends

Just take a bus to go hiking in the mountains. Get real.

Tell me that you've never visited a city outside North America (and Australia) without telling me...
