Good article, especially all the references in movies to insults about characters not being able to drive. I never even noticed that before. I think it is because movies are made in L.A. where the public transportation is still sub-par. The part about 500 Days of Summer being originally set in San Francisco makes a WHOLE lot of sense. I couldn’t be sure exactly where they were for most of that movie!

As someone who used to commute 48 miles from SF to Cupertino, CA and came to hate it, I completely agree that no car = freedom. When you consider car payments/repairs/tickets/gas/insurance, my car was by far my biggest expense and annoyance.
