Overall the article is great in that anything that makes us carfree people seem less insane is a good thing. However, I do wish that the writer had not focused on ONLY the cost benefits of not owning a car. Sure they are important but it just furthers the stereotype that people who choose not to own a car do it because they cant afford it, or because the economy is bad right now. Am I reading too much into this or what? Correct me if I am wrong but I just feel like money is not the only benefit or necessarily even the primary benefit of the carfree lifestyle.
