[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No because most of these kids want to move to cities where they won't need one and it would just be a pain.[/quote]

Wow, what a bubble you live in. I have never lived anywhere in my adult life without a car, and neither have most people I know. [/quote]

Folks...this is DCUM so guess what...we live in DC and our kids tend to work and live in DC, Boston, NYC, SFO and other cities where a young adult doesn't need or want a car.

I get that many people on the site are very suburban or live in anywhere US...but you can't come to a site with DC in the title and claim we live in "a bubble".[/quote]

Most of the affluent 20-somethings working in DC have a car.[/quote]

No they don’t…some do, but most don’t.  Why make s**t up because you know one person that lives in downtown DC and owns a car.[/quote]

+1 some of these posters are ridiculous. Biglaw associates are the definition of affluent 20 somethings and very few have cars. Why would you? Uber everywhere for going out, Zipcar when needed, fly to vacations, etc. We didn't have a car until we moved to to suburbs and had kids.[/quote]

my kid goes to GW and brought his car. He’s definitely not the only one. Doubt if he get a job in DC he will suddenly give it ip. [/quote]

Is your kid paying for parking, insurance, gas, maintenance?  I assume the answer is no as a UMC college student.

Why would he not if it is entirely free?  I don’t think any of this discussion is buy your kid a car and allow them to operate it at zero cost to them forever.

If he gets a job and is now going to have to pay for all that himself and barely uses it…I assume he will drive it home and leave it with you.[/quote]
