Yup, myself and many of my friends in Chicawgo don't have cars, some of us
don't even have drivers licenses anymore. When the evacuation of New
Orleans was announced, I wondered, "What would many of us here do in such a
situation?". I guess we'd pray there was evacuation by bus or something...

Plus which with the cost of insurance, parking, gas, etc.the monthly cost of
having a car in Chicago, etc. can be about as much one's rent or mortgage...
