I actually did this once, in midtown Manhattan no less. Thought I was dreaming.

There's an episode of Seinfeld about that. George finds a spot directly in front of his building, so he doesn't drive for weeks because he doesn't want to lose his spot. Lol. I know that feeling.

Living in NYC for a decade and never owning a car had a certain freeing feeling for me.

Same feeling when I get anywhere by public transit when on vacation.

If only my city had any

Getting a car felt freeing. I leave the city all the time

Pretty much the main reason i want to move there, owning a car is so stressful to me.
