I agree with this. I live in the UK, and work in the centre of a major city - and it's nothing other than a pain.
Driving is hard. You are always starting and stopping for endless traffic lights, and when it's not the lights, you're stopping because you've got to weave around clumps of parked cars at the side of the road.
Everything takes so long! I have a parking space where I live, but not everyone is so lucky.
When I was living in the US (northern Indiana suburbs), I was so surprised at how easy everything was - you just get in the car, drive where you need to go on a street that's wide enough for two cars and not plagued with endless parked cars and clutter, park right outside your destination and you're done.
Well, I live and work in the centre of a UK city (Edinburgh) and I love it. However, the key part is working somewhere where I can walk to work - compared to driving to work which I have done for years before and hated.
