Many Americans Are Open to Car-Free Living — Human Transit
humantransit.org
Is Americans a “car culture” or are they “car dependent”?  Do they drive because they love driving, or are they in an unhealthy relationship with a substance it would be happy to do without?  Obviously there are plenty of Americans who do love their cars, but here’s more evidence that there are fewer of them […]

We find that nearly one fifth of urban and suburban US car owners express a definite interest in living car-free (18 %), and an additional 40 % are open to the idea. This is in addition to the small share (10 %) of urban and suburban US residents currently living without a car.

    Been living without a car for (oh no I’m old) almost two decades. It’s pretty great. NYC is a rare city in the US with good public transit.

    I wouldn’t willingly move somewhere that needed a car for day to day. I don’t care if it’s a little cheaper or there’s “more space”. I like density and walking places.
