My whole line of thought on this subject changed when we decided to have a child. I am/was an enthusiastic user of public transportation, but the idea of trying to have a baby and not be able to get around on precisely my own terms (that is, on my own schedule, and with the burden of stuff my little family requires to be clean and comfortable) seemed absurd to me and now, though I still take the train to/from work every day, the idea of not having a car seems untenable.
- restalis 12y agoThe alternative of car ownership is not necessarily the reliance on public transportation. Having no need for public transportation (in the context of parenting), like having close-by all that you'd need is even better than having a car.
