You lived to talk about it though.

Don’t underestimate the librarian.

I ditched the car a while back as I spent more time driving it around to avoid the street sweepers than I drove it functionally in Back Bay.

Unless you are leaving the city multiple times each week… Save the money - invest in a scooter or zip car, and pay the ticket; They will ticket you endlessly.

Check your lease - most of the time it says apartment must be returned to original condition (or something like that) so as long as you patch it over properly, you are in the clear. If it’s considered an upgrade, you can leave it in place when you move out without issue.

And there’s also privacy film you can buy to place on the window that typically peels off leaving no damage. (Read amazon reviews to find the best one)

/edit - typos

They do kinda stink.
