Driving wigs me out especially in heavy city traffic. I’ve come to hate being in a car. I started taking public transit on my own around age 11. My mom stopped taking public transportation around age 87 for health and safety reasons. I hate being in situations more than very temporarily where driving is essential. I never went to a grocery store by car until I was a teen and then only with friends who lived in the suburbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, yeah I only lived in the Burbs or a small town so driving was essential. I did take buses as a kid and teen but not after learning to drive . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't relate to the extent of it and never would want to live that way. Oh I see! Yeah that's the worst part of living in a city - driving in it - imo. And one of the best parts is being able to get around easily to everything a city has to offer. I'm with you on that. Where we are now, it's somewhat country so I rely on my vehicle a lot. But some people here are downright comical about it - driving a block to pick up mail etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I moved here I asked a neighbor where she got her hair done as I was looking for a place so she says "oh just right down the road!" I didn't know she meant -two miles away (which is a little beyond walkable weather depending). To her it was right down the road LOL. To me that meant walkable. Like down the block.
