If you own a car in NYC, you have a toy, not a necessary transportation device. I would think NYC would be a step ahead of everyone else in this regard. ie - I would think they would be actively discouraging use of motor vehicles at all. Especially ICE vehicles.
I think of NYC as being more like Paris in that regard than Houston or Minneapolis. If you want to own any car in the future, I think living in NYC is not the place for you. I really do believe they are out to reduce the number of cars in NYC. (Or more precisely, I believe they are out to reduce the number of personally owned vehicles.) So it's not surprising to me that you don't see this sort of infrastructure in NYC.
