At different times in my life, I have lived places were I didn't need a car for day to day life and I loved it! (Germany & New York) We could walk to the grocery store, school, restaurants, etc and it was so much more enjoyable than sitting in traffic. (We did have a car and it was nice for long weekend getaways) One day, I hope to move to an area where I can be mostly car-free again. That is my goal!
