It's also about choices. I think I could provide a great lifestyle for my daughter without the car even in our small town. We'd have made some sacrifices, like swim team would have been out of the question. It would have been easy if we'd done it from the beginning or very early in her life. It wouldn't be impossible now, we could talk her into it. The key words here is "we". Mine is the only vote for no car. This sort of thing has to be family-unanimous!

But I would never say that we "couldn't" do it. If we wanted to, or if we had to, we could do it.
