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

    I’ve been car free since I moved to NYC around 4 years ago and I love it. I do wish car rentals were easier for those odd cases where you need to move something big but don’t want a U-Haul, but I love just being walking distance from everything I need. My whole world fits within about two long city blocks.

    If I weren’t in the city (and specifically this city - Boston is not as friendly to car free folks) it would be a lot more difficult. I especially don’t know how people with disabilities manage because public transit here is, for me, not super disability friendly.
