>Is there that much of a difference between owning a car...? I'd get rid of my car too if I could afford to have Uber haul me everywhere.

With reference to my sibling comment, definitively yes. I personally spent less on a handful of Lyft rides per month in Houston than I did on insurance alone when I owned a car. Never mind the cost of the vehicle itself, gas, any repairs...

Even adding in the cost of my rail and bus rides, still doesn't come close to the cost of a vehicle.

But SF is one of the most expensive living cost, so I suspect that spending for cars isn't much issue.

Before I sold my car, I spent more on parking (in my apartment) than I did in an average month if ride-sharing.
