As far as I’m aware, every US city where it’s at all common (let’s say 10%+ of households) to live without a car, it’s extremely expensive to live. Are there gems that I’m unaware of?

Probably not a great place to move to right now.

I mean if you're elderly it's probably fine; it's if you plan to still be living there in a few decades that you might want to start worrying.
If you're elderly and are able to evacuate for a hurricane every few years, sure.
