Side note, I did stop using motorized transport (due to the luxury of full remote jobs) and it's quite an eye opener. For places in a 3 miles radius, walking is often a full blown bonus. Less time, more fun, incredibly better for mental and somatic health. Morning and evening walks are priceless.

Mostly did this myself about 18 years ago. Walk most places, public transit other cases, cars only when necessary.

Zero. Regrets. Outside of the rare errand where I need serious cargo capacity, or visiting family, cars are only for fun now.

As a non-"car person" once agreed with me: "Yep, I hate COMMUTING in a car. But I love DRIVING."
