What drivel? It's well-documented that car ownership is both expensive and not strictly necessary. I live in the Beltline and don't own a vehicle; I get around just fine.

This site is from 2005, so the numbers undoubtedly look even worse now, but back then they estimated a minimum $6,000 annual expense for owning a Toyota Echo or $10,000 for a Dodge Caravan. Are you disputing those numbers? Or do you dispute my assertion that one can easily live in Calgary without owning a vehicle?
