And because my car broke down anyways (1990 Toyota Camry), I decided to only use public transit, and save the money for car rentals if and when we need them ...

Portland is an amazing town for public transit ... Everything I need is within transit distance for the most part ... it's been working for us for over a year now, and we definitely prefer it .... goodbye gas price gouging and car insurance creep ... I feel fortunate to be able to take advantage of the situation ....
