It might sound silly, but one of the main reasons I live in Vancouver is because I don't need a car. I enjoy walking or cycling everywhere. I'm healthier and happier. I don't ever sit in traffic, circle for parking, run out of money on the meter, get a ticket, pay $3000/year for insurance, have to take the car to the mechanic, or get pissed of at the moron who dinged my car with his door. I haven't had a car in 4 years now, and I'm loving it. Cities could be built for people first, a concept familiar in Europe but mostly alien in North America.
