Getting around without a car

my gf likes to tease me over how I say the word "can't" with my midwestern accent. Lots of people write about how for whatever reason--work, family, etc.--that they can't give up driving. You see this on all the blogs, and even in the latest issue of DC Watch, and I have been arguing about this on the Envision Baltimore googlegroup.

You can. See this 3 year old article from the Post, "More Area Car Owners Shift to Hourly Rentals." But no one said it was easy.
