It would be interesting to me if some psychometrician would compare the car-free by choice with car-dependent by choice populations. Judging from people I know, it sure seems that the car-free by choice have better life skills. They seem to have more interesting lives and get along better with their kids. Maybe the health and wealth factors of a car free lifestyle cause measureable improvement in other parts of your life.
