Fido, I rarely miss you...

I had a lot of reasons for getting rid of my car a few years ago. Environmental, health, financial... but I'd be lying if I didn't say that #1 was the inconvenience of having a car. Yes, that's right. Inconvenient to own a car. 

Here's why, from 7x7, an online/in print mag about our seven mile by seven mile city by the bay, San Francisco.

379,898 cars registered in San Francisco
and…
320,000 street parking spaces (including meters) in SF

But wait…there’s more.  That number is just cars.  There are also 61,755 trucks, 20,144 motorcycles, and 8,536 trailers registered in San Francisco, bringing the total number of registered vehicles in SF to 470,333.

And that’s not all.
Each day there is an increase of approximately +35,400 vehicles in San Francisco during the daytime hours monday through Friday, bringing the grand total to:

505,733 vehicles
and
320,000 street parking spaces
