I'm glad that works for you, but - depending on your life interests - it's pretty literally impossible for many people.



It may be implausible for most people, but there are probably some people for whom it is an option they haven't considered. I personally rent a car if I need to go out of the city, and walk or (rarely) bus at all other times. Very convenient for me.
