Reading this in 2020 it seems a little dated, but most of it holds up. I've never owned a car so I didn't need to be sold on the idea and already familiar with public transit. I was hoping for some additional ideas - didn't really find much, but some parts were a bit interesting such as Seattle's ‘The One Less Car Challenge'.
I was fortunate enough to finish this book in under a day, thanks to a quiet work day and a lot of tedious scanning to do. This book is essential to anyone who does not have a license, own a car, or like driving. It's also useful for people who want to cut back on their emissions, save more money, and improve their health. Balish offers anecdotes to personalize the book, though the best parts were definitely the actionable tips and recommendations for living well without a car.
