25% of Pittsburgh households are car free. You could do it too.

Not if I ever wanted to visit my family that lives in rural Pa.

Yeah unfortunately if they're not near the Amtrak line, you're stuck driving.

However, it's probably cheaper to just rent a car when going out to visit.

AAA estimates car ownership costs at $900/mo (including maintenance/gas/depreciation/etc). Not sure how often you visit, but It's probably worth investigating.
