I predict that this photo will be used again elsewhere in a few days.
Zip Car offers SUV’s. Not just economy cars. And Enterprise has plenty of SUV’s too.
Linus Van Pelt, the GREATER NUMBER OF CARS on the street driving around and around and around looking for parking, are belching exhaust and pollution into the air all around the expensive houses of Park Slope. One would think the homeowners would care about their children breathing that in, and about the effect on the environment, if they are the concerned Liberals they claim to be. It’s like why bother to vote a certain way, and to do something easy like recycle (and feel good about it) if you do something that causes as much harm as owning a car in a city where one doesn’t need a car. That’s the point I was making.
Where are there garages in Park Slope and what do they charge monthly? (Considering moving to the neighborhood, and need my car.) thanks
11:12 here–we do park in a garage, and the reason we don’t zip car, is because when we go out of town, we can’t usually get one that will fit all of us including car seats and animals. Also at least one animal, and sometimes one child gets sick in the car. We would be banned from all rentals. We used to rent before so many animals and kids, even from enterprise, and had trouble returning the car in a reasonable manner. It is very different now with children and animals. We do pay for the convenience, and try to be responsible neighbors. Yes we recycle, bought the most energy effecient car we could at the time for the size we needed. The car is 4 years old and has 24, 000 miles on it. It will last a very long time. We resisted getting a car for a long time, but eventually it made sense.
I live in PS and have 2 cars parked on the street.
Don’t thread on me.
How is recycling hypocritical? Isn’t it the law?
“Anybody who bothers to even recycle and also owns a car while living in NYC, is a total hypocrite.”
Scientists have discovered that rental cars burn gasoline and emit exhaust, much in the same way that privately owned cars do.
NO PARK SLOPE
