[quote user="wjstix"]Also, the "car culture" may be a baby-boomer thing. Many people in their 20's don't own cars now. Often this is a conscious choice because they prefer the "green" alternatives of mass transit.[/quote] Stix - that´s a development which is quite strong in Europe. Young folks don´t want to waste precious time stuck in a car on a congested motorway. They prefer to live a lot closer to their work place, if not within walking distance, then to be easily reached by public transport. My son lives a 5 minute walk away from his office, has a streetcar halt within a2 minutes´ walk and a car rental station, where you can rent a car for an hour or so, right across the street. needless to say he does not own a car. Business trips are done by train or company pool car.
