Actually, you can get where you need to go in Denver now via light rail and bus.  And then on the few occasions you cannot, you can use a rental car.  And you can save a boat load of money when you go car-free!  No gas, no gas tax, no car payments, no car insurance, no license plate fees.  You want to save thousands per year, live and work where you don't need a car. You will literally be amazed.  I am sorry, I know a lot of people make their living off of cars, but they were a really bad idea -- sorry Henry Ford.  Not to mention the pollution they cause.  When I lived in Chicago, I lived downtown five blocks from where I worked.  I had a car, which was really dumb because I drove it once or twice a month.  But, at the time, I thought you needed to have a car to be a real person.  Most people who live in Manhattan don't own a car.  And Denver can and will change so you don't need a car, if you let and you want it to.
