Don’t get the wrong idea here — it’s not that I don’t own a car because of some goody-two-shoes left-coast “one less car, one more bong-hit” attitude. It’s just that I don’t need to own a car at the moment, and the benefits that I might get by owning and driving one regularly are outweighed by the costs, inconvenience, and stress. I’d rather spend the money on two-wheeled vehicles, travel, and debauch. Of course the fact that I don’t need one is largely due to where and how I live, which is of course what planning is all about… you get the picture.
