- Live somewhere that doing so is viable.
That should be any city.
- Be able to afford to live somewhere dense enough.
I became much richer when i moved into the city and sold my car.
Cars are a drain on your money, time, and mental health
Here’s a convenient list of affordable cities in the US.
So it’s bike, bus, train and walk. I mean, yeah.
OK, those are the solutions for people living in a city center. Commutes are short enough to walk or bike, and for longer trips, there is a bus or tram every five minutes. Got it.
And what would be the solution for those people living outside the city centers? Biking from here to the city is 20km, nearly an hour downhill towards the city, but at least one and a half back up. Busses go every hour, but only Mo-Fr during the core hours. In the evening or on weekends, bus traffic is spotty, to say the least. And Trams, well, we don’t do trams or trains in the country.
Design better cities. End sprawl.
But it’s probably too late for cities already designed to be suburban hell to make any changes that dont involve redesigning and tearing up half the city. I mean, its possible but unlikely in north america at least
Step 5: Get hit by a car while on your bike and wind up with lifelong injuries because your city does not have bike-friendly infrastructure and riding on major roads is essentially a death wish.
Lol, you think horrific injury with permanent loss of limbs stops north americans from driving?

And only $16k/year for a car in Canada! $2. 5k less than the average Canadian mortgage, what a bargain!
