Presumably you would seek other income opportunities before you're so destitute as to be homeless. And that doesn't always mean quitting your startup, either. Many people or startups take on consulting projects while they're getting off the ground to make ends meet. There are many opportunities out there for people who have a demonstrable history of making real things happen.
Also, in big cities where startups usually are, it's not usually that hard to get by without a car.
Right, I'd just be afraid the other income opportunities might not come along, but apparently that fear isn't too rationally founded and programmers are in a pretty decent demand, according to what I've seen.

Even if it was a failure?

I used to get a bit tired just walking around my high school. I've never lived in a city, though. I'd probably adjust well enough eventually.
