There's a difference from not owning a car, and not using it for your daily commute. I can understand holding on to a car.

This. I lived in a city with good public transport and sidewalks. A car, however, would have been useful. I wouldn't have used it on a daily basis, but it would have made shopping for bulk goods and trips to the LBS much easier.
