Honestly, I've thought of selling all my autos (the van would be the first
to go if I had a choice btw) and walking (it's a Portland thing).  Don't
think I could but might do it to prove it out.  Been driving since 15 and
it's kinda like eating meat.

I can get most all goods/services within biking distance.  The only item I
think would be a downer is food.  Whole Foods is the only purveyor of decent
food and they're not the best stock value any more.  If we had local food
CoOps, like in other locales, or the local street markets like the third
world, I think I could do without autos.
