Well, I'm finally getting my wish and moving back there. Here, if I tell 
someone I don't drive, they look at me like I have 3 eyes or something. There,
not driving is considered normal. I'll be so happy being able to get anywhere
at any time rather than being trapped at home by the lack of public transit
(I was just as crippled when I did drive since I was afraid to drive on
freeways, alone, or for long distances).
