I gave up driving last year and moved a few blocks from my workplace. I bought a bike. Not only have I reduced my commute to work to 5 mins, I can walk nearly everywhere I need to go.  In a city like Portland, it is a shame that many people still drive as much as they do. Not so progressive, in my opinion.
