    Honestly geography seems to be the most important factor, rather than generation.

      Is it really the geography, or is it availability/proximity to public transit?

        You have said much better what I was lazily leaving to inference. Yes, it is access to public transit.

      This. I’m one of those older millennials… Over 40. I wouldn’t have a car if I didn’t live in the middle of nowhere.

      The past few years I’ve mainly been working from home, so during that time, the only reason I still had a car is that I had already bought it. I still work from home, and if my car stops working, I’ll be hard pressed to find a reason to buy a replacement. The only good reason I have is for work, since I occasionally need to travel to a place for my job. And honestly, that’s the only valid reason I have right now to continue owning one.
