Ah, but the mountains ARE where I have to drive in order to do most of the things that matter in life, so by living in/close to mountains, I minimize my driving. Occasions when I have to drive in/to a city are rare. If I were so unfortunate as to have to live in one, I'd be driving even more, in order to escape the city.
