Not to hijack the other car thread, I am curious if anyone has experience with NOT having a car in US. I realize that in many places in US a car is needed to get around to a store or any other places, but wonder if there are some places where it's not needed.
New York city would be one but it's expensive in other aspects. Outside of US, I know cities like Toronto have a good public transportation system. I just wonder if there are other places in the US where it makes sense to retire without a car and just order an occasional (or maybe even a regular) taxi / car service when needed instead...
Car-related expenses, maintainence, registration, insurance, other "headaches" just seem to add up to a lot...
Any thoughts?
