Do I get a cookie for never having one to begin with? Seriously, Seattle will pay you to get rid of your car? Do I get a cookie for never having one to begin with?

It caused a lot of conflict for us. On a Saturday, when husband worked and I did not, I'd be stuck at home all day with two small toddlers and no car (the entire summer of 2006 for example). Unless I woke up the kids at 5am to drive him to work, and then skipped their nap so I could pick him up. It was causing so much conflict for us, schedule and marriage-wise, that we got a second car. We live in Mountlake Terrace. Seattle, with closer shopping and better bus systems, would be a little easier. Carting around little kids changes the game a bit, too. So if you haven't figured it out by now, we'll be keeping our second car. :) You know, we did one car for a long time. It caused a lot of conflict for us.

We both bus to and from work (or I walk, if I'm feeling extra-energetic), and really only use the car for groceries and weekend excursions. And picking up our CSA. Hmm... but anyway, I'm pretty happy about the money we're saving in gas, and have considered going completely carless... though I think that would be a bit too difficult. Maybe someday, though :) My husband and I subsist on a single car pretty easily in Seattle.
