Anyone else car-free? (beehaw.org)

I'm coming up on about 6 months of car-free life in Seattle. It's certainly been challenging at times, and it's only possible at all because I work from home, but I'm making it work. I'm curious if anyone else is trying to do the same thing. There are a ton of anti-car communities online, but very few people seem to actually go car-free as, like, an ideological thing

i've been car-free for 6+yrs now, and it has honestly not been an issue because i've always lived in (fairly) large urban centres with decent public transit or okay to good cycling infrastructure. if and when i need a car, i'm lucky enough to have carsharing programs available here (Lower Mainland BC)
