    When I’m in a city with good transit (so, not at home in the US), it’s wonderful to just kind of bop around town on the metro/tram. You don’t have to worry about parking and moving the second most expensive thing you own (or first most expensive). You don’t need to be anywhere in particular in the city since you can hop on transit and get around.

    Cars actually tie you down in the city since you have to go back and get them. They’re a boat anchor on your freedom. Yes, they get you to a place, but then they tie you there until you go back to where you left them. Cars make life little loops while good public transit lets you wander freely.
