I've noticed that I haven't seen any of the Getaround cars in the apartment parking lot in the next block that last few times I've walked by, sometimes late at night when most of them would be there. Although the Getaround bollards identifying the spaces are still there, I don't see the site on their map. I hadn't checked before, so don't know if it appeared there previously.
