Residents at three public housing areas now have a mini-fleet of free Zipcars to make their way around Sacramento.

More Dem votes.

Just a matter of time before a zip car is used in a drive by or some other heinous crime.

Sacto is crazy if they think these cars will last very long.

I give them a year. Max.

[Mears]

“Total insanity.”

It’s more than insanity,it’s just plain UNFAIR.

It almost makes me wonder why the hell I bothered working all of those years.

I worked with a Russian guy who told me there are 100,000 Russians (which includes Urkrainians I suppose) here in Sac. He told me Sac and St. Petersburg FL have the largest populations of Russians in the country. I will say most I’ve met are hard working people.

[ETCM]

Paid for with Carbon Credits. Just more “redistribution of wealth”. They will be destroyed within a year and Sacto will be on the hook to buy them.

I have a 2006 Corolla. :-)

I drive a retired police car (2006 Crown Vic) with 164K.

I guess I'm too rich for a zipcar.

And of course I have white privilege.

2001 Toyota Highlander. Looks new and runs like a top. In 60 years of driving, this is the best car ever!

“Great the people in the “free” public housing can use the “free” cars to go get their “free” EBT purchased groceries and go to their “free” Obamacare doctor while talking on their “free” Obamaphone.”

The gibsmedat constituency continues to prosper. But also continue to whine that they are “discriminated” against, “underserved”, and “marginalized”.

[Gene Eric]

I hear what you’re saying, but I have a hard time accepting the notion that the govt can dictate what is fair — it shouldn’t have such control save what’s defined by the Constitution and founding Bill of Rights.

IN THE GHETTOOOOOOOOO

[Swordmaker]

Uh, who exactly is paying the insurance for the drivers of these zippy clown cars?

[Lurkinanloomin]

I drive a 2001 Oldsmobile.

[cyclotic]

With all my kids, we have five cars in my name, the newest is 2006

[ronnie raygun]

I have a solution, EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI

Good for you——I remember the days when the kids were around with all of the cars————seems like yesterday but it was 25-30 years ago.

“Zipcar Drive-by”

Good title for something.

[smokingfrog]

I guess I’m ignant. What’s a zip car?

[cyclotic]

Actually 3 of four are gone but I still hold the note on their cars.

[amnestynone]

I beat you all . I drive an 1992 Buck with 138 k miles on it. It is a damn good car.
