What if your parents are dead, or abused you, or rent and aren't allowed to add you to the lease?

Don't own a car? For millions that means no way to get to work, no way to get supplies, isolation.

Not everyone has a lot of choice in where they buy food, especially with no car.

It sounds like you don't understand how big the US is and how absolutely shit public transportation is. Where I live, I can get to town in 5 minutes by car. By Bus it would take 40 minutes. There is a 5:30pm bus that would get me home but if I missed it the next bus wouldn't come until 8pm.
