There are streets up to my house's level. I have a parking pad behind my house I use when there's no snow but otherwise I park on the street like most of my neighbors. This is a pretty old neighborhood; my house was built in 1903-5. I choose to walk down the hill to the stores unless I have to buy heavy stuff like cat litter and then I crank up my elderly 1992 Camry. I try to walk as much as possible. A hill climb does give me double points!
