Usually I need to be at work 08:00 or 08:10. Furthermore, the same trip by car takes approximately 30-35 minutes during rush hour. This means my car saves me approximately 1-3hrs every working day (valued ~4k€/yr based on my current wages).
My car cost ~1k€ 8 years ago and maybe an additional 1.5k€ maintenance per year (a lot of which I do myself) + 2.5k€ fuel + insurance + tax - compared to 800€ for a public transit card.
Our family home is valued at 110k€, the same money would buy a 1 room studio apartment in the city.

I can cycle to the next town over in 25 minutes at any time of day, less if I got an ebike. Driving during rush hour can take an hour.
Though they moved our office 50+ miles away so I am using that as my reason to never return to the office. Looking for a new job just in case though.
Sounds nice, it would be lovely to have the means to live like that.
Woah you’re so good with money
conclusión?
a) Housing is expensive in urban areas.
b) Public transit has difficulty competing outside urban areas due to being relatively slow and inflexible when demand and service is low.
c) Cars win on convenience and service, due to the alternative cost of time.
The infrastructure is too car dependent and OP is navigating within it really well?
