It's striking how something that's mundane in many parts of the world -- I'm talking Europe here, not just in stereotypically civilized Japan -- is considered by many to be a laughably bad idea in NYC. Maybe you should consider getting to the root causes that prevent you from having such extravagant luxuries...

Where as other have a strict adherence to their native norms, our native norm is that we don't have native norms beyond surviving. The city is transient by nature, by the hour even with a commuting population of something like 8 million people. So...what's easier to change? Culture, or carpet?
