not a good idea. possible, but not if you wanna get laid.

GET A DRAGON

>>71557
funny, I live in NYC and have never needed a car to get laid.

>>71558
nah, you know how much it costs to feed a dragon? Plus, I heard there are no virgins in Boston.

>>71555

Of course you can. It's cheaper, easier, and way more fun than trying to own a car.

Getting a bike wouldn't hurt either...

>>71566

yes there are... its all the people that didn't get a car

>>71555

yup. take the T if you need to :)

>>71555

Actually, I'd recommend it. Boston's not a good city to drive in (narrow, twisting roads, expensive parking, a reputation for rude drivers) and has good mass transit. As long as you're within easy reach of the T's service area, you should be fine.

Also, MA has an excise tax on cars, so you have to pay the government for the luxury of parking your car in your own driveway, essentially.

Ok, moving to Garwood NJ . . . any ideas for transportation? I don't have a license . . . should i buy a bike or get a car and license?

>>71555

YES. Just use a ZipCar whenever you actually need a vehicle.

>>narrow, twisting roads
check... but those are fun
>>expensive parking
umm... this is true
>>a reputation for rude drivers
JUST because you don't know how to fuckin' drive...!!! et al ;)

But seriously OP; I live in an adjacent town near Boston (accessable by the T) and I can say you can absolutely live in Beantown (Boston, the Hub, Cradle of Revolution, etc...) w/out a car.

2 bits of advice, though:
1) find an apartment near a subway stop, or at least near a busline that services a subway stop (should not be too difficult)
2) Ride a bike when it's not -10 and snowy as hell (like >>71571 suggested)

those 2 things and you're golden.

IF you actually get a car... follow the above 2 suggestions but add this third:

3) get an apartment with a leased/included parking space .
