Reply to comment by PlentyEquivalent5619 in Should we sell our car? by hourlongflyer

We will use subway and light rail most of the time, and Uber if we really wanted to go somewhere without reasonable public transit access

You don’t qualify your statements so no one can give you real advice. Your leave 1-2 times…a week/month/year? You currently spend $15k on a car you paid cash for? You’re paying for deprecation?

Regardless, having a dog it’s helps when you need to go to the vet or if you have an emergency. To me the best part about living here is leaving on the weekends, but it sounds like your priorities are different than mine.

Well, if I sell the car next December it’s gonna sell 8k less, that’s a hidden cost of owning a car isn’t it? But I agree with with what u said about leaving on weekends, that’s one of the reasons we chose JC,

I’m not sure that it will be the best or cheapest vet clinic, but there’s a clinic opening up around the corner from you on Marin.

If it’s because you work in Manhattan, There are plenty of cheaper places with easy access to the city. The Jersey City premium is about living in a city.

lol I love how everyone saying no car because it’s a city immediately admits they get literally all their groceries and necessities shipped to them via Amazon.

You can’t get this kind of convenience in the burbs am I right guys?

Respectfully, i didn’t ask for your advice on where to live. This isn’t about me.

Are you not allowed to live here if you have a life outside of downtown jersey city and Manhattan? Some of you sound like the most boring people alive.
