I suspect this being less of an issue in densely populated metropolitan areas like New York. But being from Europe, that is just a hunch... Can any New Yorkers share their experiences on this?
In fact, I don't think a single person I went out with actually had a car of their own. People on this forum can probably afford to keep a car while in NYC, but consider the minimum-wage workers living there. No way the average person could make that work.
(Now, I did have my car parked off the island, but used it maybe a few times a year for longer trips.)
Guess I'll just have to stay in NYC...though I could probably manage in Chicago or, to a lesser extent, Boston. Or Berlin.
