There's a conversation to be had about the changes in our communities' psyches as we start to isolate ourselves further through all this "do it at home" technology, in both rural and urban areas. Is it a good thing for me and my social graph that I don't have to leave my cul de sac to do almost any of these social commons activities? But yeah on your personal anecdote, a few years ago I moved from the suburbs of a larger city to the center of a larger city, so in that respect I too have seen pretty substantial savings getting rid of my car and just using public transportation and cabs when necessary. If I lived outside the center, though, I'd still be appreciably encumbered and spend more if I just took cabs from my house to get anywhere. Can you give us the low-down on your living situation? As in, are you out in the sticks or in a flat downtown somewhere? It's good to frame info like that in the living situation so we can understand its applicability.
