It’s still amazing how uneconomical it is to me not owning a car outside of any highly dense metropolitan are (where you can walk to get most daily supplies and parking is expensive).
I mean, even a quick drive to the store to get milk is a $20 fee without a car. Doing even just a single unplanned trip a week and the economics are way out of wack.
- dublinben 6y agoNon-urban areas are almost by definition automobile-centered in a country like the US. They don't have the density required to support a lifestyle that doesn't depend on automobiles.
- shalmanese 6y agoSurely two Uber rides would be cheaper than that.
- tjohns 6y agoIn rural areas, Uber can be downright expensive. In my hometown, Uber easily charges $30-45 for a quick trip across town.
- Spivak 6y agoYeah, I think the closest you can really get is 1 car per family depending on the work/school situation but even that's kinda hard to swing. It works for me and my partner because despite being in the burbs I can walk to work so it works out being 1-2 rides a month which makes way more sense financially.
