BC Place is only 15-20 minutes from waterfront or down to the little ferries. Train would save a few minutes. If those are your trips I see no need for a car. Taken the train more than a few times from downtown to YVR it is pretty easy and quick.

I would say this is true for guys, but much less for women. I agree that most of the scary stuff is pretty harmless in the sense that it's people who are more involved in harming themselves than harming others, but women seem to be the target of harm much more while violence is mostly being done by men.
