[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see my kids settling anywhere that they would want a car.  Honestly, the only reason we have a car was to shuttle the kids to their activities and take road trips.  Now that is almost at an end.

We may seriously consider ditching our car and just using Ubers and metro and renting for road trips (though I suspect we will just drive it into the ground). [/quote]

Young professionals need a car in California, Texas, Florida, Charlotte and Nashville. And lots of successful young people in the District still have their own cars.[/quote]

Considering my kid lives in San Francisco...no, they don't need a car and in fact would find it a pain in the a** to own one.  Lots of successful people in general have a car, but we are talking about young people where their parent has to buy them a car.  If my kid is living in Navy Yard or The Wharf or wherever and works in downtown DC, why would I buy them a car?

Similarly, many successful people in Manhattan own a car, but the last thing most of us just starting out working in finance or whatever, wanted or needed was a car.

But surely you understand some people do in fact NEED a car to get to work. This discussion is turning silly.[/quote]
