I would dare say more than half of Americans don’t have a passport; even more probably have it tucked away and don’t carry it. Non-drivers license IDs from the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent) are fairly common.
I was actually just having this conversation with another friend, but coincidentally, of my long time circle of friends … I’m the only driver. They all live in urban enough areas (mostly Manhattan or Brooklyn) where they take public transportation. I can’t imagine living that way; even though I could easily get to my job without a car, I visit friends, family, go to stores that aren’t in my town or directly near a bus/train … I’ve just always driven. As a consequence, I don’t see those friends as often as I feel I should, because even though I actually DO live walking distance from a train, it’s not a simple trip for any of them. Therefore, I always drive to them. And since they live in urban areas, it’s a pain to drive, a pain to park .. just a pain.
Basically, my bottom line is .. make my friends get off their asses and buy some cars. Thank you.~
