I wish you luck… Ive been enjoying the car-free lifestyle for 15 years and will never return to being a slave to the car. It has been easy for me because after 2 years living in Los Angeles, I vowed never to live in an American city where I could not have a high quality of life without being dependent on the money hungry car. so I moved to Montreal Canada then Boston MA and now Washington DC and live near metro, bus and bike trails. I am within 3 minute walk of movies, gym, groceries, cafes, pubs etc.. in the clarendon area of Arlington VA. I hope that the US will stop building isolated sprawl and move toward smartgrowth such as the area I currently enjoy and make it easier for others to have a great life without being a slave to a car.
