I live in a place like that and yes, that's what you have to do to live here. Also fuel is more expensive (though housing is a lot cheaper). If you don't have a car you probably don't have a job, if you're disabled in a way that means you can't drive you move to a bigger town or city as soon as you can.

See, here's what I don't get. If the housing is cheaper but the fuel is more expensive and it takes a lot of fuel to get anywhere, then doesn't that basically just negate the fact that the housing is cheaper?

As someone who rents in an expensive city and doesn't drive, if I lived somewhere with cheap housing but I drove, then yeah the cost of driving would easily add up to at least as much as I was saving on rent.

With that said, in a lot of places (I think especially in the West?) most people still drive, regardless of where they live. The transit system in my city is pretty good, but most people here still drive. In my experience, the majority of people who drive really struggle with the idea of not having a vehicle--even if they live somewhere that totally supports not having one. So a lot of people probably don't think of it as paying more in rent but saving tons by not having a vehicle. Because they would still have a vehicle, regardless.

It’s easier, if less convenient, to restrict travel to save money than it is to manifest extra rent money. Turns out that homelessness sucks a lot more than not being able to go anywhere you want whenever you want.

But even if you aren't driving much, you still have to pay registration and insurance and parking and none of those are cheap.
