Had you considered a bike? I've lived in Austin, spent time in Seattle. Ditching the car and using the savings to afford a more centrally-located place in those places could make sense, especially when the alternative is sitting at home doing nothing. It's not that scary to bike in those cities. I always dislike going to the park in a car in general because it just feels like I'm using the laziest and most polluting travel option to go exercise and enjoy nature.
- azhenley 8y agoDefinitely! I had a bike in both Austin and Seattle. I used it for commuting to/from work a few times a week and sometimes for picking up groceries. It just doesn't replace a car for me though, but it is an enjoyable addition (I didn't always live close to work, the climbing gyms I frequented were far from my home and office, my friends were spread out, and I like to go out hiking on weekends).
