Responding to: Meet the Americans who choose to live without a car in the US: ‘It takes some doing’
Last fall, when I was rearranging my life, I intentionally set it up so that I could be as car-free as possible. Right now, I’m probably around the 95% mark; I can do most things without driving, but not all. At this point I don’t believe I can make it to 100%.
I’ll admit that my reasons weren’t altrustic. I was tired of paying for gas and maintenance. I wanted/needed an excuse to get out and walk more places. After nearly 20 years fighting Atlanta traffic, I’ve somewhat burned out on driving. Not traveling, mind you — driving.
