I live in Chicago and I only NEED a car once or twice a year. I walk to work. I can walk to the blue or red line trains which will get me just about anywhere else I need. There are a few grocery stores on my walk home from work. There's great coffee shops and restaurants near me.

I uber home when it's late and I've been drinking but that's really the only time I'm in a car.

I know I've got a somewhat special situation as I chose my apartment based on it's walk ability. However I've lived in other parks of the city and I had similar a similar experience. It just took a little longer to get places sometimes.

I believe eventually cars will be a shared service. Automated cars that will arrive whenever I need one. That will be the day.
