If I’m honest it does sound a bit unreasonable if you fork out a grand a month to park two tonnes of metal outside your house most of the time, or use it to drive it to your place of work. I understand that not everybody can live in a walkable neighbourhood but the price for the privilege of sitting in traffic still seems a bit high.

Pretty much, yeah.

Fuel and other costs are also up slightly, but not nearly to the level of greed driven “inflation” as the sticker price on new automobiles.
