Owning a car is far cheaper than living in NYC!
You definitely spend more than $10-12k/year once you have a family for even a modest amount of space.
And that's the average cost of car ownership, it's easy to find a cheap car.
- steveBK123 3y agoYes, $10-12k is like the monthly mortgage on a family sized apartment in NYC. Many NYers need to construct elaborate fantasies to delude themselves that actually living in NYC is totally economical/convenient/rational, and not just their personal preference. Something about a river in Egypt. In reality while it's fun, its also often inconvenient, expensive, or both.
- geodel 3y agoFurther car can be useful in lot of ways, like hauling large amount of things, groceries, going for a out of town trip and so on. I think in case of NYC don't need a car in city vs can't afford a car in city use cases are mixed and need to be separated out.
