Perilous Portland Parking Predicament: Price & Position?

I've recently committed to getting a car, but don't have anywhere to put it. I live in the limbo that is Portland, Oregon's dreaded Zone N, the result of which is that I am apparently not eligible for any street permit parking. Worse still, all the lot/garage options I've been able to find even semi-nearby are upwards of $75–150 a month. This... isn't workable. How/where do people who live in inner SE park affordably?
Some details: I am recently single, presently carless, and am losing my mind from not having access to any sort of actual, therapeutic natural experience save for every few weeks when I am able to rent a car through Turo. This is definitely going to get worse as it gets colder and grayer—you could white balance a camera from how gray inner Buckman gets in December. I'm not really in a good frame of mind nor do I have the free time from work to move, so that's not an option, unfortunately.
I'd recently abandoned a plan to take a trip to Hawaii, both out of the obvious COVID-related safety concerns and the feeling that I'll need more than a week of nature to get me through this winter, physically and metaphorically. I know cars are a bad investment, but this felt like the better long-term option, for this and a few work reasons in the near future. |
