Devils Advocate-Why would someone want to own a car and live in NYC
When I say live in NYC, I mean BK or Manhat. Not far out places.
Why would you KEEP your car?

You drive to a job in NJ or LI that has no direct public transportation access.
You have a job that requires you to drive to different sites lugging stuff that you can't carry in your arms.
You want a car in case of an emergency with your kids.

You do know that there is more to Brooklyn than just Williamsburg and Park Slope. Some parts are quite far out. In the same vein there are some really close parts of Queens where you don't need a car. |

Because I need to go places at various times of the day and night that are not as convenient by another means of transportation, especially with passengers, luggage, and items that need to be secured, is a key reason to keep a vehicle.

To get out of the city, for one. The only reason not to own a car in the city is cost.

So I can p*ss-off all the tree-huggers and hippies that think it's wrong to have a car in NYC.

Jersey Shore.
And, I like to drive.
I want to move to Jersey City and see myself spending a ton of time in NYC...despite the Path, I see myself driving in every time.

This.... I'm not sure I understand the only Brooklyn or Manhattan designation. I live in Queens (also sublet out a place in Manhattan) and there's no way I would get a car. I've never owned a car in my life. We zipcar and rent cars every now and then. |
