With Seattle weather and topography the intent of essentially communal property was well meant, just inadequately implemented.
Being green isn't easy.
If only they had provided a fleet of these...
At a piddling cost of only $15k the hill climbing and weather problem would have been solved with the added bonuses of car pooling (2 occupants), room for shopping bags, and in a pinch housing for Seattles army of homeless bums. As well as subsidizing an eco-friendly auto manufacturer.

Can't wait for the Car-Share Teslas to appear....whirrr...whirr... Damn, WTH pissed in the car!
Just in from Fox News...a better alternative from the Island of St. Barts.
An all electric four passenger EV, the Moke. With a top speed of 35 mph and a base price of a mere $16k Seattle should snap up a fleet of these ASAP. The added benefit of substantially reduced maintenance costs made possible by the plein air design allows for a quick hose out of "homeless deposits".
