Yeah, but if you live in a real city with good public transport and a thriving commercial/residential core you can get by without a car and all of the associated costs. I live in Manhattan and though it is more expensive than elsewhere the pay differential and the money saved on cars makes it a pretty good proposition. (For me, anyway; degustibus non est disputantum and so forth.)
