I would LOVE to go carless. For anybody who knows my positing history, I'm definitely pro-walkability and transit, and have lived happily in other cities without a car. "Having to" own a car is my biggest gripe about OKC.
That being said, I would like to ask few honest questions from the gallery of those who are carless in OKC:
1. Were you born and raised in the OKC metro area and have you lived the majority of your life here?
2. Do you have a majority contingent of close friends and family who live more than 10 miles from the Santa Fe Intermodal Hub?
3. Are you married?
4. Do you have kids?
5. What are your average annual expenditures for ride-sharing, bike/scooter programs, and train tickets/rental cars (which I would assume you'd use if you wanted to take a non-flight trip to something like Turner Falls)?
6. What do you think would be the minimum household income to sustain this lifestyle in OKC for 1/2/3+ people?
7. Public Transit, Density, and Bikability aside, what are one or two small but significant changes that could be made to OKC to help ease some of the pains associated with a carless existence in OKC?
