I also never said that I was rich. Even without the toll, driving in Manhattan is at the edge of what I can reasonably spend. Just the parking costs several times more than all my other discretionary spending put together.<br/><br/>I grew up in a Texas suburb and it was pretty nice (except for the humidity) but I don&#39;t have first-hand experience with driving in a place like Houston or LA. I know that there&#39;s a lot of traffic, but I&#39;m genuinely curious about whether it&#39;s really slower than mass transit in NYC is. 2025-01-05T01:38:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf8t80vsjnprxyl5unct7n63zpa6qqhpjahhd6xla0ekgaxgh3regzyrhhw2fly3myya4mv8a6ckh60rvkal58qerm2s8mza32ukfawgdggvnyqz0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg3e2hcquxfqlddp64a38cssfe986d55vx2z3z9a2ag96fgamwdfcnhfz8l'>nevent1q…fz8l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Those people who can&#39;t afford groceries shouldn&#39;t be complaining either.

The trips I frequently take are about twice as fast by car as by mass transit, so from my point of view I am forced to take mass transit (when I have nowhere to park at my destination) while people outside the city have the luxury of quickly driving directly from where they are to where they want to be.<br/><br/>I&#39;m not going to get into my opinion of how pleasant (or not) taking mass transit is compared to driving, because that&#39;s subjective. However, I will note that according to the MTA&#39;s own survey, a little over half of the people who do take mass transit are dissatisfied by it.<br/><br/>Mass transit is necessary here because the city has an old layout not designed for cars and so it wouldn&#39;t be able to function if everyone had to drive. That doesn&#39;t imply that mass transit is pleasant or convenient. It&#39;s just often the only option. 2025-01-04T07:57:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrj3u2r8nppnwyaf02ys6f8k8jrlgswvjcas4ddh3rayva7tsrulczyrhhw2fly3myya4mv8a6ckh60rvkal58qerm2s8mza32ukfawgdggguxhal In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz04tw6wvc7ukj0ylgx9m5xsz5xavlnavwdr8ma85ctufejzpndfq4n9rv6'>nevent1q…9rv6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah, I live inside the congestion pricing zone. 2025-01-04T06:26:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq480lnwvmxnzqxer82m7dek4722t8cl3cy4cj7vjjhdcygrc9tfgzyrhhw2fly3myya4mv8a6ckh60rvkal58qerm2s8mza32ukfawgdggvnr02t It&#39;ll cost $9 each time.
