I love living in Capitol Hill so much (I've been living here in Seattle for 5 years). I got rid of my car and now just use Zipcar the 4 times I year I need a car. Interestingly, when I go south to visit relatives in Tacoma or Olympia I feel a little like I'm going back in time about a decade, or visiting some underdeveloped country (bad food, bad transportation, almost no entertainment other than TV, malls, movie theaters and TV, etc.). They don't understand how I can live in a tiny studio with my gf and I can't understand how they don't go insane living like they're in something that feels only slightly more real than an episode of invader zim. I'm not sure if this perception of the world is to my credit or not.
