ZD: Kiryas Yoel, though somewhat suburban is a walkable community with sidewalks, unlike typical American suburban communities.
And I believe supermarkets offer free car service trips (not sure if both ways) to shop there. The car service companies employ Heimish drivers. So women take advantage and combine all their shopping, not just for groceries. The medical center may have something similar — perhaps someone can enlighten us to the specifics.
Kiryas Yoel also has a shuttle bus system.
And women group up to visit the Woodbury Common shopping mall to save on car fare.
Many men in Kiryas Yoel don’t drive either and manage.
The community is set up better than many others because driving is not expected, which saves on costs, traffic and pollution.
And no one is held prisoner in their home.
