Americans are famously dependent on their cars.In fact, with 92% of U.S. households owning at least one vehicle, the idea of living without them can seem unrealistic and even unimaginable.But according to a recently released study by Arizona State University researchers, attitudes toward car-free living are changing, with nearly one-fifth (18%) of U.S. car owners expressing a definite interest in ditching their rides, and more than half being open to the idea.

    Ditching their car for say, a house or appartment?

          I used to hate getting stuck in traffic for half an hour. I heard a story about someone from LA that regularly waits hours in traffic and they only work ten miles away from their home. What a nightmare.

            Can’t walk or bike? LA weather is perfect for it.

              Yeah, I agree. I would definitely bike ride this distance. If it was safe for bikes of course.
