To answer your question though unless you're young NYC is the only city in America where you won't miss a car. Even places like Chicago, Boston, etc. are pretty limited in that you're mostly restricted to whatever transit line you're closest to, which isn't bad if you're 23 and live nearby friends but gets far more annoying with age. |

Date: June 21st, 2025 8:29 PM Author: Exciting Topaz Trailer Park Fair enough. I really do think NYC is the best choice car free. But yeah with a shrewd apt location, and either an easy commute (or remote), near grocery stores (or lots of good delivery), and willingness to take a lot of Ubers, I guess you could do it someplace like Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Miami Beach (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5741034&forum_id=2#49038333) |
