My fav spots are the random sharp pipes sticking out from the ground.

Bayonne is worse, isn’t it?

open carry states seem to handle it pretty decently. When you know the next person is probably strapped you approach the situation a little differently

Having a car would definitely be convenient if you want to do some impromptu visits around the city to take a break etc. I don’t have a car and during holidays like Christmas etc, Car rentals are sold out and I literally am dependent on my friends who own cars in such times. So if you think you can afford it, I’d say keep it and cut down parking cost, get a low maintenance car or something else if possible. Another problem is that you won’t think twice before going out for silly things when you have car, but in case of rentals, sometimes you might double think on the worth of spending 100-150$ on a day’s car for it. You can still easily survive here without a car, but will need to pre-plan outings, rental car bookings etc.

Would you like an apple pie with that?

So I got rid of mine, and while there are endless benefits and I barely miss it for the most part... I miss my car because that means I can't decide to drive my dog somewhere so he can have enrichment (beach, hiking, dog park, etc) on a whim. I have to ask friends or boyfriend to drive me, which sucks, and I feel like my dog suffers.

Is it flooding further into Paulus Hook. Left my car there before going to family for the holiday, wondering if I should worry about my car.

I think OPs use of the word “expand” means they were using your second definition of compress. Also don’t compression bandages cause your veins to compress/reduced cross sectional area?

Also they are just straight up wrong about this being the cause of the flooding, as other commenters have pointed out

Zipcar basically gives you minimum liability. I carry non-owner insurance for that, continuous coverage, and peace of mind. It's not expensive. Zipcar allows you to upgrade insurance but it's a rip.

Unironically this.

How about you don’t beat other people’s brains for several minutes, if you don’t want to risk getting shot or stabbed over it, /u/DirectorBeneficial48?

Thanks. Rental car reliability is my biggest concern. I've only dealt with local rental cars in Pittsburgh which were pretty reliable.

That's what my gf was saying, which makes perfect sense

Nope, family is in Europe lol

Nope, for me this was JC zip code to the same JC zip code.

Also insurance rates have games, so to your point anything like this isn't universal advice. But it's good to know it's part of the game in case

I think the parent comment is using "compressed" to mean "being forced elsewhere" as opposed to the more typical "being forced into having less volume" which would be exactly what you're also saying. I don't condone imprecise language but I'll give the benefit of the doubt because it's pretty intuitive that water is hardly compressible.

Think about using a compression bandage or compression socks. You're not literally compressing, you're just squeezing the flesh and it goes elsewhere.

I was in a similar position this summer and I sold mine. It feels like an inconvenience to go without a car after having one, but the monthly parking and insurance payments, + the stress of maintenance on the car is also inconvenient. If you use it more than twice monthly, especially for long distances, it probably makes sense to keep it if you’re willing to pay for the convenience of having a car at your disposal 24/7. If you can go without it for 4 weeks or more, ditch it. It’s a bit of a pain in the ass to coordinate a rental car when I need it but it’s just an adjustment I was willing to make

I sold my car just about two years ago and have had no regrets except until I recently started seeing someone that lives a distance away. Food? Amazon fresh/local markets/other grocery delivery services for the odd thing (also 99 Ranch is not a bad walk at all with reusable bags at that distance); Uber can get expensive but I've found I spend less on uber than having a car. If you own a car and don't street park, you are likely spending at least $500 per month between parking and insurance. If you do a bunch of weekend trips then I'd say it's maybe worth it to keep the car, but if you're talking once every two or three months then rent.

That said, if you have an SUV feel free to dm me and I might want to take it off your hands to drive to see the GF, which is my biggest issue currently.

If money is a thing. You can put your car on turo.

We always get Wus in LES/CT/2B

Your mudda’s vagine. Her brasciole ain’t bad neither

Sell

My wife and I use the car to visit family - it's much easier to do that by car than by any other means. Is that a concern?

Give it a decade
