Boston seemed like that too, when I was there, and I'm still wondering why anyone who lives there bothered to have a car. On the outskirts, yeah, but if you've got business in the heart of Boston specifically, it seems from experience you should just walk.
if the MBTA ever gets its shit together, cars could disappear entirely in the city
don't hold your breath for that one
Might be better to plan for transporter technology than that, more plausible at least.
You're talking about a space that is probably less than 15 square miles. Outside of that driving is a lot less painful.
The trains are so fucked that my 7 mile 30 minute bike commute is 55 minutes by train. It's a straight line with one change.
Driving would be 30-50 aggravating minutes and $450 for a parking space.
Boston is a regional city that bizarrely believes itself to be a major international metropolis. The levels of journey times and cost of living are up to par anyway.
