> Sometimes when I hear discussions like this, I can't help but think back to several places I've lived or stayed where using a car was not possible.

Example?

Us in New York are going by fine taking the train or biking, and if we really need a car we call a cab or an Uber, and that we have to pay extra makes us really think if we need that car or is that just us being lazy.

I won't ever understand the joy of punting that bill of your joyrides to the next generation, I guess.



Similarly, being car-less in Chicago is the way to go. Even pre-Uber it was far better — it can take an hour to find a parking space in certain neighborhoods at certain times.


The train blows since the pandemic. Blue line is coming like once every 10 minutes during rush hour so you can't count on ever actually getting on due to crowding.
