Snow in Beachwood? We got our a/c going on this side of town... (That reminds me - time to get rid of the snow tires for a bit)
Notice the word "really."

You have no idea where ari101 lives and you ask questions...

For me, it doesn't pay to own a car.
I work local, subway/bus/ferry gets me almost everywhere in NYC and I rent when I drive out.
Besides that, its almost impossible to find parking in my area without searching for at least 20+ min, only to find a spot 4 blocks away from home, and a few hours later, alternate side parking! the same game again.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Friends in B'klyn told me that half their driving is to move for alternate side parking. Otherwise they barely touch it.
Better off not to have it and rent when you need it.
especially with zipcar avail on every 2nd corner
to me the implication was that in bklyn there is generally a zipcar location on every 2nd corner
I'm gonna say based on the map most of flatbush an boro park (2 dominant orthodox sections of bklyn ) dont have a location on every 2nd corner (not even close to that)
Edit: looks like CH doesnt have two many either
