      Not owning a car increases my quality of life, by leaving money for goods and services that I actually enjoy (and not being quite as crushed by the cost of living). But I get that it’s not viable everywhere.

        If public transport was more reliable I wouldn’t need a car. But since it isn’t I’d be stranded and not able to really get to any large towns. If you live in a city it’s probably much more practical to not own a vehicle.

        Unfortunately if you live in a city everything else is probably much more expensive anyway, especially housing, so you may not get any benefit from not owning a vehicle.
