Completely concur. Dumping my car and moving to downtown SF actually saves me a ton of time and money. Lyft / Instacart / Shyp take care of everything I need and I always have Zipcar if I need it. I can go out on the weekend and not have to deal with parking or potentially unsafe driving.

I can see this not working as well in a place like LA due to sheer size, but it's perfect in SF.

As a millennial in SoCal, I think it's safe to say we need cars. But we don't buy new cars because they have iPhone docks, we buy used cars because we can afford them.

Not sure how this article could not mention student loans once. We are disenchanted by the idea of more monthly payments and debt. This issue seems much more economic than a blanket 'cars aren't cool anymore' attitude.
