San Francisco Airport (SFO) to Downtown San Francisco - Cheap and Easy!

I have relatives who do.

They use Uber, borrow, or rent a car when they travel to places where owning a car is mandatory.

The savings from car payments, insurance, and upkeep rode the stock market during the dotcom boom and helped me buy a house.

No vacations also helped.
