My life would be worse, I couldn’t afford insurance and car payments without sacrificing other important things.
I’ve never driven, and I’ve found it easy enough to live my life. I very rarely use public transportation as I live close to where I work, but I live in the burbs of Philadelphia so I could get anywhere by bus and train if I needed to. I can walk anywhere I need to go - I used to have a bike, don’t currently. I live in a cute small-town commercial area surrounded by nice residential neighborhoods. My doctor and dentist are blocks away from where I live. I shop for items I can’t carry home (50 lbs of cat litter) once per week by carpooling.
