When I was living in the US, the thing I hated the most and that stressed me out the most was that I had to drive everywhere. You can't walk places. Well, you can but it's not fun. And no decent public transport. No bike lanes (well a few but you still had to ride on roads without any).
I have never owned a car in Germany. I can walk to a supermarket or a bakery. I find it so much more pleasant than having to drive everywhere.
- andrewla 7y agoYour scope might be too broad; the US is a large place. Germany is not so small either. In many cities in the US cars are not a necessity and public transit is adequate.
- stuxnet79 7y agoApart from the big transit-friendly metro areas like New York and Chicago, where else will you not be penalized for being carless? Even in Chicago, I often feel like the city is giving me a middle finger for not owning a car ... Urban planning and zoning regulations in the US as a whole favor cars over pedestrians.
