I moved to a major European city. Seeing people (and now doing it myself) bringing home furniture on the bus or train is great. I don’t own a car anymore. Between a small wheelie cart and larger stuff coming via delivery with the order, we’ve been furnishing our apartment without trouble.
The percentage of days we needed a big vehicle was always low. Buying and maintaining a car when there’s actual modern public transit is only for extreme edge cases.
Have you heard of public transit? Quite useful for getting places.

Many european cities also have car sharing, which is pretty cheap if you just use it for buying furniture or weekly grocery trips.
MILES (often a small edit leaves it MILFS) is everywhere in Berlin. Cars share with some vans if you truly need a big trip.
What’s public transit? Will that drive me 50 miles to work at the exact time I need it to?
I’m salty my country is like this. Fucking stupid
Not really useful in many places. And for most homes, it’s non existent
A bike maybe. But you can only carry so much groceries on a bike without it being a very frustrating experience.
I can easily do our shopping with a regular bike, cargo bike would carry more than my partners car can.
