It’s not that I can’t fathom how it could be better, I literally wish I could get rid of my car.
I literally can’t. I live far enough away from my job that not having a car to get there every day isn’t an option, I can’t move close enough to my job to eliminate a car, and even if I did, I’m only making the drive further for my wife. We don’t live within walking distance of a grocery store. I genuinely need a car. My wife needs one too. I don’t live in a city with with even shitty options for public transit. It’s just not an option. My wife doesn’t work in the same city she works in, there is no bus, and the nearest bus stop to my job is a 45 minute walk from my job, and a 2 hour bus trip.
It’s a 10 minute drive for both of us.
If I could sell my car I fucking would. I love my car, but I’d give it up in a heartbeat if it were an option. I just don’t have the option. This is without children. When a child is thrown in to the mix we will only depend on having two cars more.
Our mothers are aging, they live here and don’t have other support. She has licenses that lock her in to this state. We aren’t moving, and this city is a car city.
