Just read this interesting article about life without cars.

The area around me is getting more and more developed, but most city folk would still call this the “country”. Thinking of a life without cars is always a dilemna because I love living in the country but it’s an absolute requirement to drive a car pretty much anywhere when you’re out here. Ideally I wouldn’t mind living in a small village of people in the country with a neighbouring town that would be close enough to bike to in under a half hour. Maybe drive to the city an hour away once a week. Or better yet if there was an easy and comfortable train to the city that would really be ideal. Until then I’ll keep coming up with creative and fun reasons to  stay home a lot!
