for you and your life maybe.

Half the city owns a car or lives in a household that uses one. Stop pretending like Manhattan and Brooklyn are the only aspects of NYC.

Edit: like cars aren't disincentivized by having a good public transport system. Trains, trams, rail, buses, etc. I haven't seen undeserved parts of the city get a train line or even discussion of that
