#021: Life Without a Car: Could You Do It?
Play • 41 min

For decades, owning a vehicle was synonymous with freedom.

Having a car meant not having to be at the mercy of a bus or train schedule; it meant you could live and work in a different neighborhood from where you worked or went to school. Vehicles even became a place of refuge – a place to sing out loud or rest your eyes.

But cars are ridiculously expensive – and as rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft gain consumer trust and extend their services to every neighborhood in the U.S., more and more Americans are questioning the need to own a car.

When you can find a ride to your destination in a matter of minutes with just the swipe of your finger, does it make financial sense to continue to make $500-plus payments, possibly for the rest of your life?

San Diego-resident and friend of the show, Dan Hubbard, joins us to share how he lives without a car in Southern California. Dan even shares how he commutes daily to an office job via public transportation.
