Even if HFR gets approved, it would have to extend through Kitchener to Windsor, and would still be many, many years away.

Car share/rental does still exist, though, and can be much more cost-effective if you only need a car occasionally. I personally know four households in Kitchener that do not own a car -- it is quite possible to do.

Not sure if you are counting me, but you can add me, and a friend of mine was doing it for a while.

But I think the point is fair, as transportation options disappear, it gets more difficult, eventually there is a breaking point, different for everyone.

Ultimately, my "breaking" is departing, but most will probably just end up with a car.
