It seems OP has been tricked like many city dwellers that having a car is a necessity. People need to stop buying into this marketing scheme. Nobody needs a car here for daily use unless differently abled

Depends on the OP’s job. If they are working from home, they can get rid of their car.

How is working from home the only way they can get rid of their car? DC public transit is the way to commute,especially considering that in NoMa OP is right on the red line

I don’t take metro. Use to but I would have to leave so early to not be late. My job requires me to be all over the city and metro is not an option. If OP really needs the car, they can pay for a garage spot.

Cool. You’re probably in the small minority who works “all over the city.” Most of us have one work site.

Sometimes I question my profession but then again, I hated sitting at a desk all day.
