Proving to yourself that you don't need the car is very different from thinking that you might be able to get along with out it, and it makes the decision easier.
For us the issue is living in BFE. DH has to have a car to get to work a half hour away and we have no public trans. We don't need 2 cars every day, but I'd say we need 2 at least a third of the time. If we were close to his work and our kid's school (which is near his work) it would be a non-issue. We could definitely live with just one, then.
