Life Without a Car, Can You Do It? Options

[TwilightStrikes2...]

Hello and a happy new year to all! Anyway, I am a community college student and have been driving for about three months now, to get myself to and from school. And then I gots to thinkin': is it really necessary for EVERYBODY to own a car? I mean, they really can pollute the environment, cost a lot to buy and even more to maintain (including gas).

Then I gots to thinkin' again: is it possible to live in the United States without a car, and leave them to industries for delivering/parce/transportation services? It is certainly possible to do such a thing in other countries, especially ones like in Nigeria and India. I experienced it first hand. But try to apply it to America, and you get frustration. So is it possible?
