Not a big problem anymore.
Most of our shopping, except groceries and prescription drugs, is done by internet.
No driving, prices are reasonable, delivery is fast, and most everything one could want is in the mail order or net catalogues.
Occasionally go to a restaurant. Not to the theater; it is cheaper to order a DVD movie, and the selection is almost unlimited.

Seldom fill the parking authority's coffers- only necessary when going to some doctor-hospital centers.
