Carfree or Car-light Places

[danbrotherston]

I've heard good things about both Victoria and Vancouver. I'm curious though, I've not recently been to Vancouver, and never Victoria or Kalowna, I wouldn't call Canmore car-light. Do you folks think these places are really car-light. Again, these are places that are more walkable, but I'm guessing they won't qualify as car-light.

How do you define car-light? My thinking was walkable and active transportation/transit-friendly, but maybe that's not the same as your expectation.

I think if you google for "living in X without a car" you can find some good commentary on most decent-sized cities.

I would define those as "walkable" and "transit friendly", which are definitely good things.

I'm thinking about places which active discourage motorvehicle use, and where those policies are effective at ensuring motorvehicles are the minority user.
