If you’re moving to the downtown of a big city, like San Francisco or New York, you will have a tough decision to make: Do I sell my
car?
Why would anyone want to get rid of their car, though? Well, there are a few major reasons:
- It’s time-consuming – Parking in downtowns can be next to impossible – people in San Francisco might spend hours each month just looking for parking.
- It’s costly – Whether parking on the street or in a lot, parking costs money, sometimes upwards of $250 a month. Even people who are renting a place might not get a free reserved spot.
- It’s risky – Cars parked on the street are always at risk. They get broken into in even the nicer downtown areas. Also, parking restrictions are a constant threat, waiting for you to slip up and not pay attention to a sign or colored curb. The consequences can run you hundreds of dollars.
