I think there is one person on my team of 10 who has a car. These people all have the income to get one.
The issue for me is that I don't need one. I've considered it, but I can get most stuff in the city by walking/bus/zipcar/uber. Larger stuff I just buy online anyway.
Considering I pay high enough rent without the cost of a parking spot, insurance, and probably a car payment, it doesn't make sense financially. Parking is also a pain.
Now i could potentially break even/better by moving out of the city but then I just spend 30 minutes or more each way getting to work. I have to put up with traffic. I'm not in the city when it comes to fun stuff in the city.
I'd buy a car if I was going to start a family, but at this point there is no need. It's a luxury I just don't really care about.
