Upvoted for considering getting rid of your car. I finally got rid of mine. It eventually got broken into sitting in the driveway. Multiple times. Then when I finally wanted to drive it for something important, the battery was dead and I got to my meeting anyway.
Let me know if you want to have a phone call some time about considering going car-free.
Later I started https://bikes-as-transportation.com/ https://bikes-as-transportation.com/
(spoiler: I also later got married to a woman with a car, so I end having easy access to a car anyway.)
- Liskni_si 6y agoSimilar story here, I got rid of my car a few years ago after not using it for a few years and only pushing it around when the street was closed for cleaning. Later I realized that with so little use, it would've been cheaper to use taxis than paying insurance for the car. :-) These days our city is full of carsharing cars so should I ever need a car to carry something heavier, I only need to walk a few blocks to find the nearest car that I can borrow. Costs about a half of what I'd pay for a taxi, so it's not cheap, but still cheaper than owning a car and not using it.
