But do you have any agreement with them as a community? I'm talking to them
about putting a car in our parking lot for the exclusive use of our
community members. They have to park a car somewhere and haven't found a
spot in our neighborhood. In DC they put cars near Metro stations.

I'm still exploring the possibilities and haven't taken a proposal to the
community yet. They will still handle all the reservations, maintenance of
the car, etc., but they want a minimum usage guarantee. I'm not sure we can
manage a commitment of 300 hours a month right away. It would take people a
few months at least to build habits around the car and to sell their second
cars.
