Two kids, no car: how this Vancouver family saves $8,000 annually going car-free

https://buzzer.translink.ca/2024/04/...oing-car-free/

A few thoughts here:

The headline says the family saves $8k per year, but in the article it says "The Bohms could be saving around $8000 per year" so it's misleading.

They live downtown which makes a huge difference and it's one can assume they choose to live in a smaller space than a house in the suburbs.

Since they don't mention anthing about the dad's career, it kind of sounds like the dad is a stay-at-home dad who is homeschooling their kids. Either that, or they got their kid into a downtown elemenatry school and daycare within walking distance (would be a miracle if true).
