As living in the city is getting more and more popular, this is very much understandable. I can only speak for Berlin, but I got rid of my car soon after moving here. As a student public transport is basically free (it's part of the semester fee) and after finishing university, getting anywhere from anywhere at any time of the day (and at any state of consciousness) felt so natural, that I quickly got myself a BVG subscription. You can always rent a van for cheap if you have to transport something big - that is if you have a driver's licence. Many people who were born here never bothered to get one.
