Where I live in DC people walk, bike, and take transit. They also have automobiles and drive when they need to leave their neighborhood. Why? Because the DMV [b]is[/b] a car-dominated hellscape, and unless you want to live in a small bubble, you need a car. We're not New York. We're not London. We're not Toronto. We're not Chicago. We're more of a big town than anything else.[/quote]

I'm just going to repeat the statements, above, that a lot of people in DC do not have cars. And do have jobs. So evidently you do not NEED a car - though it's possible that a car would make your life more convenient, presuming you are able to drive and can afford a car.[/quote]

+1. Yes, a lot of people in DC have cars but really only use them on the weekend or for the occasional errand out in the burbs.

That's a huge difference from the daily road rage you see from angry VA and MD commuters who think DC streets are their personal speedway.[/quote]

Funny. Most of the road rage I see around town involve cars with DC tags, but whatever.[/quote]
