I wonder how familiar you are with urban living in the United States. At least within my circle of family and friends, this is very common.

I've lived in the two largest cities in the US. I'm very familiar with urban living. In NYC everyone takes cabs and don't own cars. In LA everyone drives and can hire very cheap cars to lax or shared shuttles. Its hardly a problem in either of the biggest urban centers in the US.

"In NYC everyone takes cabs and don't own cars." - Jesus man, have you ever been outside of Manhattan? If everyone in NYC doesn't own a car, why are there so many fucking cars there all the time?

I grew up in Queens, in huge apartment buildings. Everyone there has cars with street parking that they have to move every time street sweeping comes around.

I did exaggerate , but the fact that parking is so hard.. kills the other side of the equation for the company in why would anyone rent the car.

Then why do rental companies exist?

With all due to respect, I think I am done with this thread. Perhaps it is unintentional from your side, but I feel like I am arguing with someone who willfully exaggerates things to get a rise out of me.

In Houston, at least, many apartment complexes have parking lots or parking garages. You may not necessarily have a specific assigned spot, but you can park in the garage.
