The SF dilemma: - can’t own a car because expensive, no parking, will get broken into - can’t use a bike because roads are dangerous for bikers and bike will get stolen if parked outside - can’t use uber/lyft because expensive, companies abuse drivers - can’t use public transport, because it doesn’t cover enough of the city, timetable unpredictable, can be dangerous or unpleasant - can’t use self-driving cars, because they occasionally interfere with public services, are run by big tech |

I have a car which I take to anywhere I can park easily (which is a lot of places in the city if you avoid downtown).
I don't own a bike but I know many who do, and just take it inside with them. Roads are dangerous for bikers but not moreso than every other city in the country.
I use uber/lyft only when I know I'm not going to be sober, which isn't that often (once a weekish).
Plenty of people I know use public transit, though only some routes are useful/safe.
Self driving cars are still very early days and I'm sure they'll work out the technical issues. The fact that they're owned by big tech isn't a problem for me and most other people.
