I live in Ann Arbor, which is a small college town that has a pretty good bus system considering we are in the midwest and so close to Detroit. I recently sold my car which was huge boost to my quality of life. Having said that, I had to pay relatively a lot for my house to have the luxury of being within 2 miles of downtown where I work. Even in this small town, automobile transportation can be extremely difficult. The UoM hospital parking is an absolute nightmare. Even getting the premium parking pass (~$250/mo) does not guarantee an employee a spot in any lot, let alone the one closest to their destination. Patients end up circling the lots for upwards of 90 minutes looking for a spot -- a common reason for showing up to an appointment late. There really is no other solution besides better public transportation here. Hopefully that will be the driving factor to increase bike lanes, bus lines, and incentivize people to only commute via automobile when absolutely necessary.
