New Orleans is a city of many
distinct neighborhoods. Tourists may not mind going around the city’s
main attractions and attending annual events like jazz fests and
Mardi Gras on foot. However, for residents, it’s not the same case.
If residents want to go from one area to another, they would need an
efficient car.
There are many areas within the city
that can only be accessed via a car, especially if residents wish to
comb through the small towns and natural attractions. Residents
living in the suburbs, in particular, can’t solely rely on public
transport since there are locales that cannot be reached by bus or
any other means of mass transit.
Most residents are also aware of
what happens to the city when a hurricane hits, making cars
essential. A large part of the city is situated below sea level, and
while it is surrounded and protected by an extensive system of canals
and water pumps, New Orleans, especially some of its suburban areas
are still prone to flooding. Many residents are aware of the
potential and prolonged flooding problems these hurricanes could
cause.
In such cases, residents will be
prompted to evacuate before flooding directly hits them. Thus, having
a car means having an efficient way to get out of the city during a
storm-related evacuation.
