This. Coming from the rust belt, NYC was shock and awe for me and it isn't even a good example. But I get a bunch of people who ask me "How do you park when you visit?!"
I don't...in town. I get a PATH train in NJ and forget the car. It is freeing and the Subway system works well enough for anyone. I wish I didn't live in a Stroad hellscape.
- Turing_Machine 5y agoSome of us (maybe most of us) don't want to live in a human Habitrail like NYC.
- pjerem 5y agoStill, you can live without cars outside NYC. I’m currently living in the French countryside in a 3k people village. I do have a car but I barely need it on a daily basis : I WFH or take the 20 min train to my office (currently writing from my train running at 160kmh - 99MPH) and I have a grocery shop at 5 min of walk from my home. I do have "luck" (well, it’s not really luck since I choose to live there) because even in France/Europe, it’s far from the norm. But it’s possible and working solutions exists all over the world, just waiting to be copied.
