Not now, the kids need space to run around outside and an apartment isn't going to give them that. Before I had a family, quite probably. Assuming there was good public transport (Train station?) as well. We are a one-car family, and even when I lived alone I never quite managed to live car-free. The biggest hurdle to car free life was that I couldn't carry a week's worth of groceries on the bike.

In fairness, Uber and home delivery are good options these days - those weren't a thing 15-20 years ago. It'd probably be easier to go car free these days.
