Living with/without a car
I have seen stats that 50% of all car trips are 1 mile or less, and 80% are 2 miles or less. More or less counting about 10 blocks as a mile. The Chinese have a saying 10,000 steps a day for health. Hoping this topic won't become a screaming match, but could you live without a car? Now there are almost infinite factors to take in account, I know. However I have not driven a car since 1978. I make do with public transit, bicycle, or walking. I love to bicycle as much as I can to everywhere. I know not everyone could. Then again, I am almost 70, very fit (more so than many far younger people I've seen) and been retired for a few years. My departed twin brother was almost 80 lbs overweight, died at 55, ( and was a millionaire for all the good it did him ). So, could you live without a car? Why or why not?
