My dad and I were talking the other day about our respective neighborhoods and how necessary it is to have a car in them. Some neighborhoods you can walk to everything you need, while others you need a bike or--like my parent's place in the San Bernadino Mountains-- you absolutely must have a car.
If you want to know how "walkable" your neighborhood is, check out this site:

My neighborhood in N Portland got a 78 out of a hundred, pretty good, but there's no supermarket within a mile of our place.
How does your neighborhood rate?
But even if it's pretty walkable, the real question is: how often would you walk instead of driving if you had the option?
