I can’t imagine where you came up with that. In 1980, 80% of Manhattan households did NOT own a car. There has never been a time where the statement “everybody owned a car” was remotely true in Manhattan.
- amyjess 9y agoYeah, my parents moved from NYC to Dallas in 1979 (a few years before I was born). Driving everywhere was something they had to get used to. When I was a little kid we took a few trips to NYC to visit extended family, and to prepare me for how different it was I remember my mom telling me that Manhattan may be the only place in the country where most people don't drive anywhere or even own cars. That had to have been in the late '80s, and it was based on memories my mom had of the '70s.
