Yeah. One of many reasons why car-centric infrastructure is a problem. It creates a world where If you can't drive you're going to deal with some combination of: significantly less independance, exorbitant amounts of money spent in Ubers/taxis/ect., or a severely limited access to society. Unless you're obscenely wealthy losing the ability to drive significantly lowers your quality of life and ability to support yourself, forcing lots of people behind a wheel even though they really shouldn't be there.

I have no counterpoint or immediate solution to offer and I am glad you covered the greater picture. It sucks.
