People would work it out...

In Sydney, we have always had daycare next to home or work, in San Francisco I put the kids in a bike trailer.

The number one thing that worries me about my 9 and 12 year old getting to and from school are the cars. The 12 year old could bike to school if it were not for cars. The 9 year old walks, as did the 12 year old before starting high school and catching the bus.

Cars can be handy for carrying stuff. On the other hand I like strollers as a shopping trolly that goes all the way home.

In my family the person who does not work does not drive at all...

And disposable diapers (nappies) are cheap delivered. And you can use re-usable ones with a service that comes to your house.

artsrc,

Your post here is pretty hilarious.

Note that the message you were responding to started off with this:

> Unless you have a parent in the household who isn't working, life gets pretty crappy without a car.

And your response contains this:

> In my family the person who does not work does not drive at all.

It's as if the person you respond to had already accounted for your response!

Heaven help you if you ever live in a place with moderately bad weather for even part of the year. Neither Sydney nor SF are even remotely good places to model transport policy on.
