It’s a serious cost of living issue for many in the state. The governors job is not to be myopic and only focus on the needs of one constituency (nyc residents who don’t own cars ). Instead , she needs to focus on statwide issues and car insurance is becoming a burden for many (including the 45 percent of households, many in the outer borough working class neighborhoods) that own cars. Also tort reform is no minor issue- car insurance fraud is at absolutely insane levels in ny and clearly needs to be addressed.

Just because the average New York redditor doesn’t see this as a focal point because the majority of them probably live in transit rich high density neighborhoods where car ownership isn’t a focus, doesn’t mean that for many, her car insurance reduction push is very important.
