> 1. Public transit: it’s good if you go where public transit goes. Try to get out to East Coast park, and you have a 45 minute transit ride vs a 15 minute Uber

Thanks, captain obvious. I'm aware train lines are fixed in place. Just take the Uber. What do you want, public transport that goes to every door step?

Of course it depends where you go. I'm sure some parts of New York are clean and others are grotty. That tends to be the cycle of how things go, sadly.
