I also live in Philly and totally disagree. Owning a car here is sort of like an albatross on your neck. A car DOES NOT save time in Philly and restricts freedom more than enabling it. If you need to go to a remote corner of philly, it only takes a minute to grab an uber/taxi and you don't have to worry about parking. A bike or a motorized scooter is also a practical option because Philly is flat. I would get rid of my car if I could but need it to get to work in NJ, even so, I hardly ever use it outside of my commute.
