"A recent study conducted by 24/7 Wall Street identified the 10 best cities to live without a car. San Francisco made the cut!

• Widely available and efficient public transportation system (Are they talking about MUNI?!)
• Availability of daily amenities such as groceries, shopping, schools, and entertainment easily accessible on foot or by bike (We sure do have a lot of Whole Foods!)
• Walkability
• Mild weather
The study looked at the 100 largest metro areas in the country. Each was evaluated based on the percentage of neighborhoods covered by public transit, the number of jobs within 90-minute travel by that public transportation, the walking score of neighborhoods, amenities available via walking, and the biking opportunities within the area. (Of note: Seven of the top 10 cities are also on the Top 50 Bike Friendly Cities list)."
