An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

I'm not who you replied to, but you are assuming a lot of the living situations for millions and millions of people. I live in a building built in the 40s and only have street parking. I do have a pretty damn good public transit system at my disposal, though. That's within reach for my short travel needs today.

While circumstances are bleak, I hope public transport become much more commonplace.
