Photography Monopods

Night Photography – monopods?
I would love to start getting into night photography and get some pictures of people downtown at night. I’m looking at tripods but realized a monopod might be more convenient.
Would it make any sense to get a monopod considering that I still might end up moving the camera around or should I just get a tripod?
The camera has to be absolutely still–and monopod won’t cut it.

This is a 0.7 second exposure. There is no way to hold the camera on a monopod to get this short. I realize carrying around a tripod is a pain but that is something you will need.
