I'm currently in Palo Alto, and I do not have a vehicle, except for a bicycle. I will see how long I can hold out, but so far, I've bought all of my furniture and household items through Amazon and a local dealer, and had them delivered. Groceries come from Instacart.

Tomorrow, I need to go to Ikea to get some other items, since I wasn't a fan of what's available on Amazon, or the pricing on other sites. I plan to use ZipCar.

Instacart is one of the many services that are helping me to lead a car-free lifestyle here in Palo Alto. I'm from Toronto, and I wish I could have accomplished the same when I was there.

I didn't realize no car in Palo Alto+ was doable.

I do the above in SF.
