RE: Why I am 28 years old and have no driver's license.

Car loan payments, gas, insurance, expensive constant maintenance, hidden health costs, stress, it ads up really quick if you think about it. You can add up to it the environmental cost that doesn't affect you directly on the pocket but can get us kill on the long term.

Cars are a money drain. You only loose. Nothing to gain, not even time with increasing traffic jams we see these days.

I rather ride a bike, walk, take transit and read a book (or Steemit) while commuting.

You are not crazy. Younger people that were born after the car boom don't see them as amazing machines, progress and freedom symbols... they see cars as quite the opposite.

Better take your money and time and invest in better things.

The city I live in atm is so not pedestrian friendly. I agree though.

My City is not pedestrian friendly too. I live in Calgary... I ride my bike 23Km everyday to get to work.... and 23Km back. :) Things are changing and cities are shifting to better transportation infrastructure that accommodates all the users and not only drivers.

Yeah. I can't bike atm due to IC causing pelvic floor damage. It's hard to get around. I actually let my bike go because I can no longer use it. But hopefully one day I will be cycling again. (I am going to look into a recumbent bike too)

once I get my phone working (was sent a broken one) I am going to see how uber id in this area.

in my area it just got a lot more expensive. (when they removed surge pricing)
