If Erica ever tried to get investors to back her on such a project, I suspect that her proposals to only offer cars powered by farts and accept payment only in hugs would quickly find their way to the trash bin.

Capitalism is for losers.

On, we are in the middle of C. Hill - so there are cars in every direction. But, god, how to work with these New York trash people ...... horrible.

I understand that they are a business and that they can't throw money to the wind.

The fact that they are leaving SE Seattle as light rail is coming is troubling, though. I wonder if transit oriented development is successful, if Zipcar will return to SE Seattle. If they don't perhaps a competitor with a different business model, perhaps a non-profit that only operates with hybrids, could start up in SE Seattle.

"a fact that surprised me, since—besides the fact that I prefer to drive hybrids for eco reasons—I won't spend more on a car than I absolutely have to."

ECB really can't see beyond herself.
