Not with the current mindset and infrastructure completely focused on cars. But here in the Netherlands we changed our car focused cities to bike and public transportation focused infra, and continue to do so. You don't have a choice if there are no sidewalks, bike lanes and reliable and regular busses, trams, subways and trains. So maybe fix that instead of continuing a dystopian cartopia. Over 80% in the US lives in urbanized area, they should be able to live without a car. I understand car use in rural areas but in cities it's just dumb. As well as intercity travel. Instead of saying "it's just not possible", why not look at the Netherlands where they already did it with great success. Other countries follow too, like Denmark for example. It's not that you can't, it's just that you won't.
