That's true and the need to be able to drive a car is also a hard stop to move to the USA. I had a job offer but they wanted me to move from the UK to the US.

I didn't get the feeling you can live in the US without a car. Public transport is non-existent or very limited. Maybe my picture of the US or California is wrong

It's only really in some compact cities like SF or Manhattan with good public transport that you don't need a car. Car clubs are useful for local trips. But SV and other towns and cities you'd need one. I'd say in Manhattan having a car is a liability!

My feeling was that it's difficult to travel outside those areas?

It may, however getting a driving license is really easy compared to most countries. And rentals are not to expensive (ok these days are a bit different due to agencies selling all their cars and being stuck not able to buy new ones now).
