Similar incident happened with me as well on 10th st recently, it’s scary! I have started signaling the drivers at stop sign with my hand before I cross now :(

Having a car would definitely be convenient if you want to do some impromptu visits around the city to take a break etc. I don’t have a car and during holidays like Christmas etc, Car rentals are sold out and I literally am dependent on my friends who own cars in such times. So if you think you can afford it, I’d say keep it and cut down parking cost, get a low maintenance car or something else if possible. Another problem is that you won’t think twice before going out for silly things when you have car, but in case of rentals, sometimes you might double think on the worth of spending 100-150$ on a day’s car for it. You can still easily survive here without a car, but will need to pre-plan outings, rental car bookings etc.

How do you plan to deliver in peak winter and during snow? Is food delivery shut during snowfall or only car delivery folks do it?

Take evening walks at waterfront, nice refreshing place where you’d see people. Find a hobby that you could just do after work. Try getting proactive on Meetup events of your interest. I can relate to this, I think it’s just a point where you should start looking for a partner and use dating apps/sites and get to know people. Hopefully that’ll give you something to look forward to and make you happy if you find someone. Consider getting small pets like rabbit/hamster or something if you not up for a dog but need easy to manage kinda pet. Try joining one of the desi bollywood dance classes around, would endup meeting lot of desis.
