Re: [DML] Lauren's Car.

["Farrar Hudkins" <fhudkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

I imagine it's the same in any large metropolis. In New Orleans, there
are folks who don't own a car. If they live in the city and work in
the city, they can take the bus or the streetcar to get anywhere they
need to go on a daily basis. Most living spaces uptown/downtown don't
come with parking, and the monthly rates for such facilities are
almost comically expensive. I live (just) outside of town and have my
own parking space, and consider myself extremely fortunate to have
such a situation. Renting even a space for the car and tools to be
stored would be an extra few hundred dollars a month, and I am already
a D owner on a budget (and probably always will be).

I am glad that there are at least a few of us on a budget. It shows
that D ownership is a joy not limited to the extremely wealthy.
