When I lived in Berlin I never drove a car. Never needed one. Public transportation + walking was always a viable solution. Now I live in the U.S. and wish I could get by without having a car. My job is too far away and Uber/Lyft too expensive to be a viable option. High frequency bus service means "every 15 minutes" where I now live. It's a joke compared to Berlin. When I look at American cities/towns now I think they are mostly ugly. Way too much space devoted to mostly empty parking lots. Very few people out walking or otherwise enjoying the outdoors. Drive, drive, drive. It's depressing sometimes.
