You're talking out of your own arse. I've travelled and lived in countless European countries. I've literally NEVER seen a house without a fridge. Most people own a car, or use a shared car within the family. Currently I am in Italy, and it is almost impossible to live without a car unless you live in a big city like Milan, Rome, et al. Closest shops I have are at least 40 minutes walk. Nearest shop that sells anything is a bakery and a pasticceria. I think they also do gelate. While the bakery sells cured meats and some cheeses, I need to drive 20 mins from here to a commercial area full of bigger supermarkets when doing shopping in bulk. The Europeans don't own/use cars is a massive meme by people who literally don't know what they are talking about or intentional bait.
Pic related for Italy. I can guarantee that the 20% who don't """own""" a car drive someone else's (on paper) as it costs way more than rest of EU to transfer ownership: it can be up to 400€ with our useless bureaucracy. Why are Americans so uneducated about "Europe"? Stop repeating bait as if it were fact. Funny story: my gf was driving her grandparents car for a long time as it was their gift. The car was technically theirs, but they obviously avoided the ownership fee. They were quite old and passed away, but the car stayed on their name. She drove that car for nearly two years AFTER until they had to change the ownership of it for whatever reasons.
