Zipcars are a neat idea, but there aren't any around here. I'd need to drive quite a ways to get a Zipcar!

The problem with NJ (one of them), is that if you don't live directly in the NYC-Philly corridor, mass transit is nearly non-existant. Like someone else said, it's partly about lifestyle choices. I hate cities and urban areas - just not for me. So I have to deal with suburban sprawl.
