I live in New Haven without a car. The bus system in new haven/west haven/lower Hamden is decent. Investing in an ebike can also make a huge impact.

I live in New Haven. My girlfriend is not a driver, and has gotten around fine since 2019. However she’s also a grad student at Yale, so she has access to Yale shuttles that go around the city.
I personally would not want to live here without a car, but it seems possible particularly if you plan where you live well.

most people would probably cry and shit themselves if they had to take meteorology in college

I’ve lived car-light in the Hartford area for the last decade. Things are sadly car-centric, but the bus system goes where I need to go and bicycles make it a lot easier.

The marketplace is going to be his best, and possibly only, option unless his income is low enough for him to qualify for Medicaid.

Same, everyone is crossing their fingers that they’ll give us the day just because we haven’t had one this year. I’m trying not to get my hopes too high but fuck, I would be so happy.

What’s even more hilarious is they think their $100K SUV somehow defies the laws of physics on ice regardless of tires. You spent a lot on your car. Cool! You’re an idiot.

Oh yeah, I bet the first time you drove a car you were an excellent driver then.
Some people just have a difficult time learning how to park correctly. It doesn't mean driving is not for them.

I was making $65k a year when I bought but the house is only 700 sqft in a rural town, and no student loan debt. Was also 2018, so pre all this madness.

Get a bike rack for the back of your car. People tend to give more space if you have a bunch of metal poles sticking out the back.
