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 lived car free in the DC area for a long time. The only true challenge I faced was taking my dog to the vet. I had a lot of friends tell me they didn’t realize it was possible to live car free until they watched me make it work. The biggest advice I have is to figure out the bus system near you. Usually your goal is to connect yourself to higher and higher quality mass transit
This is part of my motivation! And thanks - I am lucky to have good bus service in my area
