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.

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.
