    This table is clearly cherry picked and biased. If you add a row “cost of me bringing my car”, then it’s up, up, UP in big red letters!! No thanks!

    Edit: I meant this as a jokeeeee omg /s

      In my experience, this community is really sensitive to anything even remotely pro-car, so jokes need to be marked more clearly than multiple exclamation marks! Haha

        Tbf, it sounded like a matter-of-fact opinion to my filthy casual ears until I saw the edit.

      So your cost should overwrite safer streets, less congestion for people who do drive, and less noise and air pollution for people who don’t even drive? What a selfish person.

      I know you’re joking but is it even up? I haven’t driven in NYC, but my experience in other large cities is that unless you’re parking at a friend’s place, having a car in town can be expensive and annoying when you want to park it close to your destination. And that’s assuming no one fucks with it while you’re away from it.

      Though it does depend on how much the tolls are. Hell, parking might even be cheaper now that demand is down, unless they’ve started repurposing parking space already.
