As a small example, I met someone at the gym the other day who told me living in the South Bay without a car would suck. I was surprised; I've never learned how to drive, nor have I owned a car, and I consider this a blessing. I bike 25 minutes to work, 20 minutes to the gym, and less to most other places I need to go. And I'm healthier for it.

I never became acclimated to owning a car, and every time I consider buying one, I just can't justify the value add. I don't even mean that financially it wouldn't net out (it certainly wouldn't), but the cognitive overhead of having to manage yet another thing doesn't really appeal to me. And then there's the thought of passively sitting in a box for about an hour a day in lieu of being out in the open air, which sounds awful.
