Over the years, I’ve realized that:
I don’t enjoy driving.
I don’t like sharing the roads with dangerous drivers (especially in my area with frequent accidents).
I don’t like the costs and financial burdens associated with owning a car.
Groceries and appointments seem to be my only reason for needing a car, but I feel like I can find ways around these with proper location and route planning. Right now, I currently live in the suburbs where it’s basically essential to own a car.
I’m looking for a way where I can live a life without the need for a car. It seems that by re-locating to a country with a superior transit system, it could be an option. Is this possible or am I being unrealistic? What am I missing?
How big or important of a factor was this for you when going nomad? How does it impact you?
Live and learn.
I knew that for US people it is frequently hard to impossible to live without a car.
Thats such an interesting and valid reason to go live elsewhere.
Just a side bar. The walkability and public transportation are paid with taxes. So, many DNs who don’t pay local taxes are leeching from the resources paid by the local population.
I know it is not every person’s fault, but those of you who complain of taxes (and this sub is full of tax discussions) are part of the problem.
