When I lived in Boston, I neither drove or biked. Unfortunately I wasn't into transportation biking back then, but as far as driving was concerned I hated it. I sold my car when I moved there. The insurance, the parking, the traffic, the drivers...Boston is a hard place to own or operate a car, especially in Back Bay. It was a nuisance I gladly avoided. I miss it there; trying to get the woman to check it out, maybe whet her appetite for a move.
