Garage
I live in the city (downtown is relative... most suburbanites say I live downtown, but I say they don't actually live in Chicago at all... and they don't. hah.) I live where you have to slow down to pass oncoming with only a few inches either side, and sometimes you can't; someone has to wait, or back up. Parallel parked cars either side of the street. And alleys.

I have a garage, and I think that's a must with a car like this. Wheel theft is real, as is vandalism (people seem to have taken to hopping on hoods lately). I also have both front and rear facing dash cams with parking mode - and I'd not go anywhere without. Lots of fancy cars parked in the street all the time though.

I don't typically drive anywhere in the city - that's what transit is for - and when I do, there is usually a parking lot. That's more because it's usually just as fast once I count having to find parking, and often far cheaper. I see plenty of twins around though, and it's small enough to making parking easy. It has folding mirrors if you're street parking. Those big doors can be tough in some lots. And the streets... I don't know if the speed bumps are really worse than the pot holes, but I have to be really careful on some or I'll scrape.
