Unless you love cars, in which case driving is a joy. California has some of the most enjoyable twisty roads on the planet. I&#x27;ve got a couple of cars, a motorcycle, and a handful of bicycles.<p>And I can bike commute. Yes, in the suburbs of the bay area.<p>I get what you&#x27;re saying, but it&#x27;s too absolutist. I would simply never, ever live anywhere I couldn&#x27;t keep a car. I enjoy being able to bike or take public transit where I want to go. I&#x27;ve spent entire months with cars parked in the driveway that I never use. But I simply cannot live without the freedom to load up the car and take a multi-hop roadtrip. Out to the woods to go camping. Up to the mountains to go skiing. Yes, some of these things can be accomplished, at some pain, via transit. But not all.
