I'm lucky enough to live somewhere where I can do all my day-to-day things (e.g., work, gym, groceries) without a car. Bike, bus, and walking can get me almost everywhere I want to go within 5 miles of my home, which would otherwise account for the majority of my car trips [1]. I still own a (small) car, but it's relegated to weekend pleasure driving and occassional big-things-transport. It's amazing not having to stress about parking, gas prices, or being stuck in traffic alongside everyone else commuting via single-occupant cars.
