What other options are there for her to park, near her appartment?
People choose different lifestyle and career. You usually end up where you are location wise because of those 2, different stroke for different folks.It's the cost of living in high density cities. $1,750/mo (Apartment and parking) is a pittance for a city like SF. Besides what is her alternative?
Naw, circling for a spot is a sport in itself. Trains you to be sharp in finding a spot and being good at parallel parking. And remembering where you parked also keeps you sharp. When you're not home you have to park it someplace and remember where you parked it anyway.Even if it's no safer, it's close to her building which makes carrying stuff much easier. Time saving too, not having to drive around looking for a space, and trying to remember where she left it. It would be a no-brainer. If my daughter was in the exact same situation, I would insist on it even if I had to pay for it.
Why are you being a jerk?" Our overpriced registration fees should cover parking and tolls "
Why stop there Chris? Overpriced registration fees should cover gas, insurance and our children's braces....and a swimming pool...and....and
And weren't you the guy who said employees ask for raises while smoking cigarettes while getting tattoos?
I was just skimming the thread to see if the OP ever came back to tell us where she worked. If it's in someplace far away like Gilroy or Pleasanton than she's just living there for the lifestyle. Hopefully she is much closer that that! But I am spolied by my own 4-mile commute.People choose different lifestyle and career.

Nobody works in Gilroy but lives in San Francisco, that's 2 hours commute each way and 2x the rent.I was just skimming the thread to see if the OP ever came back to tell us where she worked.

I know; I chose it as a ridiculous example but it could be done by train if need be.Nobody works in Gilroy but lives in San Francisco, that's 2 hours commute each way and 2x the rent.
For some unknown reason, she is fixated on having a backup camera. All of the large screen aftermarket radios do not have a pull-out option.Install a pull-out stereo, if they still make them.
How much does she use her car? What is the street parking like in her area? If she can go car less then it maybe worth trying that, but if she needs it then I would keep the parking spot. If you want to live in the big city then you're going to pay for it.
Just go with no radio and don't keep anything in your car maybe?
Street parking is brutal in her area, but she has been managing.This!
Sell the car, and use the proceeds plus the $250 + whatever her costs for insurance, tags, etcetera are to rent a car when she needs one if it's a feasible solution.
Street parking is the only option.What other options are there for her to park, near her appartment?
She works in SF as well, but technically she doesn't have to live there. She lives there by choice.I was just skimming the thread to see if the OP ever came back to tell us where she worked.
