(40,671 posts)I can repair cars, sure, but I sorta resent the fact that communities are built that require them.
My ideal form of transportation is walking. I don't think it's a coincidence that places where owning a car is a nuisance, like San Francisco, are very expensive.
One of my nephews lives in San Francisco. He doesn't own a car and he doesn't want one.
My wife and I escaped the Los Angeles commuter lifestyle decades ago, but we still live in a place where cars are somewhat necessary. I could theoretically navigate the bus system for a doctor's appointment, but it would likely be a long adventure with no assurance I'd get there in time unless I left several hours before the appointment.
My car cost $800 dollars and insuring it is inexpensive. I like that.
