Its moreso the environment that allows a car free life to feel possible does not exist in the majority of American cities.

By design.

Having a car used to make my life more complicated, not simpler. I had to find a place where to put the damn thing daily, it cost a fortune. Granted, it came in handy once every four or five months. Still, I'm glad to have been car free for the last twenty years or so.

When I need one, I just rent it at one of the shops that are less than a km away. The rest of the time, I use my bike (I can hook a trailer to it if needed), the bus or the metro.
