Parking is an issue in a lot of places. I have 2 parking spaces I can use, and they’re needed for my car and my wife’s. I don’t have anywhere convenient that I could park a trailer.
And I could rent a trailer, but that can be a pain, the handful of times I’ve done it the places nearest me didn’t have the trailer needed in stock on the days I needed it, and if you need it frequently enough it can get pricey
And, frankly, towing a trailer is a skill that some people just don’t have. They might do just fine in truck, but throw a trailer into the mix and things can get weird quick.
Fact of the matter is still that I live in a townhome with no parking besides my 2 assigned parking spaces, an HOA that definitely wouldn’t like me leaving it on the front lawn, and to put in in the back of my home I’d have to get it over a curb and drag it through about 5 neighbors’ back yards to get it under my deck (and the HOA might still have something to say about that)
So to have a trailer of my own, I’d have to find somewhere to store it, and since I don’t have any friends with extra space in their driveways who will let me leave it there, that would mean more ongoing expenses.
Why not buy a sedan and use a utility trailer?

You can get a folding utility trailer https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F51%2Fd8%2F53%2F51d8533930099d1737a9d18475ee01aa.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=90d74e9ac1c14b03c775d8a432b7086dab4ef28396c28c5f9a8daaeed3e85ecc

Because I occasionally haul stuff that a sedan can’t.
I’m also tall, so entering/exiting a sedan is difficult if I can even fit.
