I’ve raised three children in Manhattan without owning a car. None of my children (who are all college age) know how to drive, which is always an amusing point of interest among their new friends when they get to college.

So when they were younger, there are times when you simply do need a taxi. It’s infrequent — buses, subways, walking cover most of your needs — but there are times when you really need one.

I would say it's positive to not have to drive a car, but having a license and some driving experience is certainly a good thing, even if you don't rely on a car for daily transportation.

Sometimes a rental car/van/truck is the proper tool for a task.
