Just from personal experience, but NYC, SF, and many European cities are cheaper and faster to navigate without a car from within the city. Sometimes it depends where you're going within the city, though, for example outer brooklyn to outer queens will be faster via car, but williamsburg to midtown manhattan you'd be insane to drive during rush hour.
- yieldcrv 4y agoI have that experience too Even people from right outside those cities have such a wildly skewed perspective “Traffic and parking is so bad!” Have you consider moving to the city “Traffic and parking would be worse!” You don’t drive if you are already inside it cue confused worldview shaking look
- josephcsible 4y ago> You don’t drive if you are already inside it People occasionally want to go to places other than the city where they live.
- yieldcrv 4y agosooo occassionally, and that's just leaving the city not getting around it and into it all the time
- jjav 4y ago> but NYC, SF NYC, absolutely. When I lived near NYC I would drive in, park the car in a garage for the whole weekend and never had any need or desire to use it. SF, not really. Public transport is too fragmented and limited. Most of the time there's no convenient way from point A to B other than to go get the car and re-park elsewhere nearby.
- reidjs 4y agoI guess I lump Lyft bikes into public transit now. SUPER convenient to get around SF
