I’m coming up on about 6 months of car-free life in Seattle. It’s certainly been challenging at times, and it’s only possible at all because I work from home, but I’m making it work. I’m curious if anyone else is trying to do the same thing. There are a ton of anti-car communities online, but very few people seem to actually go car-free as, like, an ideological thing
Uhm yes, me. And almost everyone I know. I think only every 3rd household in Berlin owns a car. Still waaaaay too many cars.
Ah, I’m jealous. Here in the US I’m the only person I know car-free by choice. My area is making some big strides towards reducing car dependence, but we’ve got a long ways to go to catch up with Berlin and other good urbanist cities in Europe
Getting on a bike in Berlin is fairly dangerous unfortunately. But public transport is good here at least.
Also, cars are really really expensive and I’d rather work a little bit less.
