Abstract
The cool, clean air blows right on my face. The radio is as loud as I want it. There is minimal lurching, and no smelly strangers sitting right next to me. My shoes are not wet, I did not have to leave a half hour early to get where I need to go, and there is no need to leave before it gets too dark. These are the benefits of driving in my own car through the streets of Cleveland and Cleveland Heights, free from the perceived shackles of carpooling and inconvenience of public transportation. Reliance on an automobile has not been a part of my life for upwards of seven years. I attended college in Cambridge and have lived in San Francisco; there is little need for an automobile in these cities that are very dense and have figured out public transport to the last detail. Cleveland presents a different landscape: long stretches of desolation between downtown and university life on the East Side, no bike lanes on the streets, a disparate, untimely rail system.
