I am an elderly retired woman that recently purchased a modestly priced condominium in the pearl district and since I cannot drive, the streetcar allows me to still be mobile and to get to Powell's, the post office, and the shopping stores downtown.

When I was young, a car was more of a luxury, as people didn't drive as much as they do today. Everyone today acts like they are too dependent upon transportation, but they forget they have two feet at the end of their legs. Just wait until you grow older and cannot drive, your opinion will change.
