This is just completely wrong. Just from personal experience I can say that Tokyo, Amsterdam, Paris, and Florence are perfectly livable without a car.

I don’t know anyone who owns a car in Paris. The TCO is just stupid. People just rent one when they need it.

Now list 4 american cities you can live in without a car?

Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, New York

Would also go so far as to put forth any college town with a climate where a bicycle will get you around most of the year without dying from freezing to death or heat exhaustion.

All those cities are way better with a car.

How do you plan to get to Rainier?

Is there supposed to be a "/s" here?

Whether or not those cities are "better with a car" doesn't really matter here. OP was asking what "cities you can live in without a car", and you can do that in all four of those (I've done so in Seattle and San Francisco). Whether or not you love to do it doesn't change the fact that it's perfectly possible.

And Mt. Rainier? Really? Again - the question was whether or not you can live in a city without a car. Rainier is two hours outside of the city, so it's not even a part of the question.

So the point is that US cities suck?
