I don't even have a valid driver's license.
In theory you do not need a car in Moscow due to the Metro - still I would hate to use it on a daily basis...
If you use Metro during off hours like I do it is not a problem. Rush hour is a no no.
Regarding someone's comment about Portland having good public transportation. It is pretty amazing. The light rail, streetcar and bus are all free within the downtown area. In addition, it's also very easy to just walk places as the city blocks are pedestrian friendly. There is an alarming absence of cars driving around downtown even during rush hour. It's a great food city also.
I really envy you guys in cities/regions in the US where public transportation is not only provided, but embraced by the inhabitants. Most of the South has been a nightmare for urban planners for decades because of the attitude toward public trans of any kind.
One of the reasons I'm planning on moving from rural east texas to manhattan is because I am sick of having to drive everywhere. I spend upwards of $8000 each year right now on car payments/insurance. I should be able to save something like $5000 a year as long as I don't go crazy on taxis. That should help with the extra $15000 I'm estimating in housing costs.
