I commute to work most days but still have a car and you'll have to pry that from my cold dead hands. In my view the best part of living in Metro Van is the mountains and outdoors which are still too difficult to access efficiently without a vehicle.

For the record, I have nothing against a larger number of carsharing, carpooling or ridehailing spaces, nor expanding such to more parts of the city and province.
The fact remains, however, that most large metros are no longer large enough for every household to automatically be given a place to park their car, and Vancouver is one of them. Were this an Asian city-state, we'd have already soft-capped total car ownership and made downtown a toll zone.
