You have to have a really good central location for where you live and work* and you can't really get out of your bubble most of the time, which is limiting and frustrating. (For example, I am in a writing group in Sacramento because they are not sustainable in Davis at all because of "I have a midterm!" crowd. Ditto taking acting/improv classes.) And about the only reason why I am in the career field I am in is because I could not drive and thus 95% of the jobs in the world were ruled out for me, so I applied at the very large employer within walking distance of my apartment. I really wish I could have learned to have driven earlier/with people who didn't scream their heads off at me, because I could have had a lot different life if I'd been driving at 16 like everyone else. <br /><br />* If you have to have a house, that realistically rules out not driving altogether. <br /><br />I think it sounds like you've got it about as good as you can realistically have it, though. You don't have to drive a lot every single day and you can walk around in your neighborhood and most people can't say they have that!
