Can someone explain why only 1 in 6 have cars in New Orleans.



Poverty. Housing projects don't have big parking lots. Most middle class people have cars, even those who live in the Quarter. (Need 'em for makin' groceries.)

Not just that, parking is at a premium. Most people park on the street. He lives just off St. Charles Avenue and rides the trolly car to Tulane - about 6 miles away because he's concerned that he will lose his parking place on the street in front of the house where he lives.

He rides his bicycle to the market because it takes forever to get a parking place. Kind of like I used to say about going to University of Houston when someone asked what my major was, I would respond "parking".
