A good alternative to owning a car may be joining a car sharing service. Essentially you 'rent' a car on a per hour basis. Typically the car sharing service pays for the maintenance, gas, and insurance for the car. AND they have a number of cars to choose from located in different area's of the city. There some requirements e.g. you have your driver's license with a clean driving record.

Car sharing may help you to avoid owning a second car. Also if you live in a condominium you may be able to rent out your parking space to someone else in the building which can help pay for your commuting.
