I used to live in San Francisco - so long as you define San Francisco
as San Francisco and don't include the entire Bay Area (Oakland,
Silicon Valley, etc.), then there's no need for a car in the city - in
fact - it's a royal pain and expense to have a car there (difficult &
expensive parking, etc.)

Well, that's pretty much along the lines of what I was interested in
