Ya See, the problem with that is...
There are about 400,000 people downtown that like the transit. Probably another 100-200k in the surrounding burbs. Those downtown can do everything you just stated you do plus more. They've modeled their lives around not being noosed by an automobile. The amazing thing is, their lives are probably more fulfilling and less complicated than such a runaround mess you put yourself through.
So why would the 400k plus people want to complicate their lives and live like you just stated.
The other fact is there are more people moving here all the time looking for work, attempting to live downtown without or with minimal use of a car. There are easily thousands, hundreds of thousands that would be glad to come here and take your place - and use transit instead of a car.
Sam, ya hear that, fix those business taxes so we can get more jobs downtown and in the city/town centers!!! Hurry up with that! :)
