I’m also a member of the Co-operative Auto Network in Vancouver!
When you drive your own car, it’s hard to ‘see’ how much that trip to the grocery just cost you, taking into account depreciation, wear & tear, fuel, and insurance. When I jump in a co-op car, I come out with a dollar figure at the end of my trip which includes every considered cost for that trip – depreciation, wear & tear, fuel, and insurance.
Instant feedback like this changes everything. All of a sudden, when all costs are considered, you might find that the ‘quick jaunt to the store to pick up some ketchup’ isn’t worth the price you pay.
I work as a designer, and for me the whole car issue is a simple matter of ‘designing’ the need for a car out of my life. I do this by carefully choosing where I live, work, and play, eliminating the need to commute as I go.
And hell, car sharing networks make the decision not to own a car so easy.
I can’t think of a better place to live out the New Urbanist dream than my current home, Vancouver, BC!
