[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I seriously don’t understand this generation. There are so many kids that don’t want to get a license….even with uber and public transportation, it must be so limiting to not have the ability to hop into your car and drive to your friend’s house, go to a restaurant, go to your part time job, drive yourself to school, to the mall, to all the places we used to go as teens. No wonder they are so anxious and depressed.[/quote]

I mean, where do you live? My teens in Arlington walked to friends' houses, walked to Ballston and Clarendon to go to restaurants and coffee shops, took the orange line to Tysons or to Roslyn and walked to Georgetown. It wasn't practical to drive to their jobs in Clarendon because they would have had to pay to park there. They walked to school.

I learned to drive at 16 but in my small town in a rural area, there was little to drive to. No mall nearby. I couldn't drive to school because my parents needed their cars to go to work, so I took the schoolbus. My kids definitely made out better. [/quote]
