I have a car, but for the first time in my life, I rarely need to rely on it. I recently moved just outside the downtown area of a small city. Although walking and active transit are not proiritized, in fact the sidewalks look apocalypitc in places, the desnity alone has allowed me to walk to the majority of my needs. My Nissan micra picks up the slack anywhere else, and in the winter, hauls more ice fishing gear than the average truck I see parked by the lake.
