If there were Rent-a-Bullitt near Union Station that would also be amazing! I borrowed a Clockwork Orange in Sacramento a couple years ago and it was a delight.

Lots of people with money who want to make more are telling you this is a tool you have to learn or you'll be Left Behind but as with all tools, you can use your own brain and experience to decide if it's a thing that helps you do your job better and a thing you think is ethical.
