Owning a car is such a con. Between car payments, the price of fuel, insurance, upkeep, parking charges, I’m glad I live in a city with good public transit. I feel bad for people who have to rely on a car.
Cool. Not everyone gets to live in such a city. And those of us who live public transits cities city, want to leave it sometimes. That requires a car.
And most cities with public transit are unaffordable for middle class people. They are fantastic if you make well over 100K a year, but if you make 40-60K, forget it.
No. Also you can’t walk or cycle. I mean, on a really rare occasion I see someone try but there’s a really strong chance you’ll get hit and die. You never see them try a second time. The last time I was walking 2km up the road because I had dropped my car off at the tire shop, four people offered me a ride to get me off the side of the road.
Laughs in doesn’t own a car

You’d be homebound or relying on ubers if you lived where I am.
I’m glad that I don’t. Where I live a car is a luxury and not a necessity.
Right? I saw the comment above and was like, “OK?”
You don’t have busses?

buses don’t go anywhere useful. they also are dont’ show up, and even the high frequency buses, are never on time.
they are not useful or reliable.
But I don’t and I can’t even really afford a car the way I set my life up
