Chapter 98 ★Nine six don't drive

We have a couple friends who live in San Francisco.They sold the car a few years ago because it caused them too much trouble.Driving in a city like San Francisco, parking is always a hassle and costs a fortune.In fact, they don't really need a car either.Their home is very close to the office, so both of them walk to work.They both love to walk to work in the fresh morning air.They are also fortunate that they don't have to be involved in the complicated traffic conditions of big cities. Even if the weather is bad sometimes, they can still take the bus to work. Now, they would rather shop close to home than travel across the city to shop.The savings they save on gas, parking, insurance, taxes, registration and maintenance are enough to rent a car and run errands out of town on weekends.After several years of relying on the car psychologically, they sell the car they don't actually need. They feel a great sense of relief in their hearts, and they no longer have to worry about all kinds of troubles in order to own a car.Now, although they can't enjoy the convenience brought to them by the car, they don't have to spend time wandering around meaninglessly, and they have more time to do what they want to do.

Of course, if you live in the suburbs and work in the city, and the public transportation is not perfect, you may not have much wonderful feeling if you are asked to give up your car.But if you could rearrange your life so that you didn't need a car, your life would be simpler.
