But honestly you can do it anywhere. Just live in a central area. Take buses and uber
there are people like myself who never even went for a driver's permit. living in an area like nyc owning a car isn't really that necessary.
also the money saved would be a big reason why not to own a car. gas, parking, insurance, inspection fees, visit(s) to the auto repair shop, etc - i'm assuming the average driver has to paying almost at least 6 grand a year for all of those expenses.
then of course there is the actual cost of car itself.

The best neighborhood that I know from experience is the French Quarter of New Orleans. Property/renting is expensive, but it's worth it IMO.
Paris, France
Berlin, Germany
Tokyo Japan
Mexico City, Mexico
Oslo, Norway
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Honolulu, Hawaii USA
Barcelona, Spain
Lima, Peru
New York, USA
