Not yet able to go carless, but at this point, avoiding driving by paying with $ for rideshare or with time for using transit is the biggest indulgence in my life. Can’t believe I used to enjoy driving at one point. I hate it now.

No with selling my car in 2012. Now just have wife’s car which I rarely drive. I go to great lengths and expense to arrange my life around not driving now. Highly irrational.

If I didn’t have kids, I’d be pretty much carless. I OneWheel downtown to office and back, Uber or carpool everywhere else. Driving kids to school/activities still requires a car. I don’t like driving, and I abhor parking.

Yeah 80% of my hatred is parking related. Don’t mind driving too much in say midwestern suburbs where it’s never an issue. Circling around downtowns for awkward parallel parking spots curbside and then giving up and taking sine $20/hr structure (if ones even available) 🤬🤬

What do you do marginally better time when driving than flying scenarios?
I hate city driving, but will gladly take a 5hr drive over a 1hr flight that extends to similar time when considering wait and taxis.

I'm at this same point in my life. Been trying to work out the practicality/math of getting rid of my car and switching to buses and ridesharing. (We have another car in the family)

Living in LA car-free is a narrow lifestyle window that I’ve enjoyed for a handful of years now. It takes a very specific set of conditions to make it work, but if your life has those conditions, you have to pounce on it!
