I think you're onto something here, because a lot of people from the burbs seem like they drive everywhere, including the city. To them, there's not much difference between the city and some town in the metro because no matter what they will be in their car driving around.

I don't own a car, and catch mass transit or ride one of my bikes downtown into work every day. In the city here, I'm *never* stranded. An all-night bus or train is always within walking distance. This is a *huge* difference from suburban enclaves with poor mass transit, and often poor or no sidewalks.
