That's an interesting viewpoint; since I moved here ~5 years ago (has it been that long already?) it's always been my opinion that owning a car here was a fool's errand due to the problems with parking when leaving the house, and cost of parking when staying at the house, plus the annual break-ins etc. I do spend probably $200/mo on uber but it's a quarter of the cost of owning a car, and get around on foot otherwise. I don't typically leave the marina/north beach/fidi/soma/mission areas of the city though. If you live in the sunset that would change the equation quite a bit.

Oh I definitely agree that owning a car is horrible in SF! Parking is super difficult and when you do find a spot, it's so tight that you need to be an expert to even get in/out. I don't think there's a good option for getting around in SF. I end up doing a mix of walking, taxis (also bad), Uber/Lyft (ok) and occasionally rent a car if I'm going to be making trips to the valley (very bad).

I'm just comparing the walkability to other major cities. I find SF to be pretty unwalkable all things considered. Especially compared to European cities or NY.
