That's another city I found to be much easier to deal with without a car. While it was nice driving around the monuments, finding parking was a bear. It was much less stressful parking at a Metro stop in VA and taking it into town.

Another possible solution could be as well could be free parking and fare discounts for those who park outside the city and use public transit to come into the city.

I lived in Chicago for a few years without a car and was able to do quite well without one. The money I saved on gas and parking more than made up for fares paid for riding the El and taking cabs.
