Unfortunately in CA you are severly harmed by not having a car.
Car brained generalization about a huge and diverse state.
The state is huge, you're right. It's not just LA and San Francisco. But to anti-car people, there are only five places to live in the US, and if you're not in NYC, SF, LA, Chicago, or DC, you don't exist. Walk everywhere, lose your job, become homeless! That'll get politicians to invest in public transportation!
You are severely harmed by not having a car *and being too apathetic and selfish to do anything about it
Sorted that for you
And there's that ignorant privilege. No one is coming out to Kern County to build stop lights, let alone a some how functioning public transit system, our best bet would be high speed rail out here, and you can thank one individual billionaire for fucking that up. What are we supposed to do? Use our voting power of a low population county to address billionaire's fucking us too hard? I drive my neighbors out of town if they need me to, I do what I can, there's no options, you get access to a car or you die.
