When you buy a new TV, you going to lug it home on public transit or pay for delivery? Not so long ago, I bought a shotgun and couldn't see getting on Muni with what could only be a firearm while going to and from the gunshop in a cab would have been a substantial expense 'cause it was nowhere near where I live. Even for runs to CostCo, public trans doesn't cut it. Cabs can work but they can also be more expensive and less flexible. And in SF, it would ruin my budget for a week to think about taking a cab across the Bay Bridge to Ikea or down the freeway to Target and it would be a huge struggle to get home with purchases on BART.
Then there are the runs over to the Marin Headlands or Muir Woods or wherever I want to take a quick trip out of the city for a few hours . . . .
