    The beauty of living in a place like New York City is that you don't need a car for ANYTHING. When I left California five years ago to move to NYC, I sold my car and never looked back - it was one of the most freeing moments of my life. Most New Yorkers - especially those in Manhattan - get by just fine without cars and rely on public transportation for mobility. And everyone knows that streets are more pleasant for walking, biking and shopping when cars are taken off the road. So it makes perfect sense for NYC to try out a <strong>no-car zone in Manhattan</strong>. Just because Mayor Bloomberg's congestion pricing plan was shot down in the spring doesn't mean we've called off our dreams of a traffic free future.
