Not sure what you're immediate surrounding neighborhood community is like, but the closer it resembles a European lifestyle in a USA city, the more feasible it would seem to be. The closest I've really experienced that is the South Beach, Miami, FL area. The stores, banks and generally any other things you'd need or want in your life are closer to each other. What I don't like about it, at least South Beach that is, it's a tourist trap too. Restaurants are pricier, so not having the expenses of a car, those savings get eaten up by higher prices. South Beach doesn't have a Wal-Mart, heck I'm not 60 and even I can see the value of Wal-Mart. And speaking of the tourism, yep, a lot of the travelers are from Europe at certain times of the year, others they are from Caribbean, Central & South America, so the community does reflect more of an international lifestyle.
