I got my license 2 years ago now, and I do not regret it. San Diego has a TERRIBLE public transit system; I made this decision when my 35-minute, 3 mile one way commute was going to get extended to 60-90 minutes one way. I could walk there and back in that time, and it wasn't worth the time expended for a part time job. In those two years, I've driven less than 5000 miles, but saved so many hours in hassle. Learning to drive opened a lot of doors for me. If I lived in Chicago, I would still not be driving. I am ashamed to say that I am part of the problem.
