Every day I'm happy I live somewhere I don't need a car. Even if housing costs were $1000/mo more (they're not), I'd be getting something worth having for that money.

I was able to get a used Honda Fit for a reasonable price last year and paid it in full. I'm so glad I did, in addition to living in a commutable city.

I have my car as an option if I absolutely need it (which is rare). I only have to pay for insurance. It's tiny so it's easy to park, it uses almost no gas, and it can fit four people plus luggage. I can easily leave my city if I need to. I love the damn thing.

But I'll also emphasize that it's secondary to living in a commutable city
