I've never owned or driven a car in my life and have lived in four different countries and two different continents in big cities and out in the sticks. My parents didn't have one either which I think contributed to my lack of interest as an adult.
The idea that you need a car, is I think, vastly overrated.

Haven't hit the strip clubs there. The strip clubs here in South Carolina are garbage other than Charleston/Myrtle Beach.
Food is okay at best
I have limited experience in the strip club field, but "service" was exceptional. But also really expensive, but again I don't know what qualifies as "expensive".

Depends on your culture and where you live.
It certainly does depend on where you live but I think "culture" is part of what I'm getting at. People who've grown up with cars tend to think they "need" one way more than people who grew up using public transport. This was my point.
I live in New York City, specifically Staten Island which is one of the 5 boroughs of NYC.
Of the 5 boroughs of NYC it is practically mandatory to have a car in Staten Island. The other 4: Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn you can get away without a car because the mass transit system, aka The MTA, is more developed with a network of trains underground and buses.
Staten island on the other hand does have local buses and express buses to Manhattan but on main roads only and only one train line that goes from one end to the other for a ferry connection to Manhattan. With this system it misses quite a bit of places you can go.
I can honestly say that I couldn't buy groceries without a car right now. The nearest grocery store is seven miles from me. That doesn't sound too far, right? Wrong. It's seven miles of highway with no sidewalk, no shoulder, no walking trail or any other way for a pedestrian to safely travel. I complained to the department of transportation. You know what they did? They put up a sign that says it's illegal to walk along the side of the highway. Problem solved.
