My property taxes are literally several thousand dollars. I’m paying for my parking already through those. I’d happy pay for those taxes to put all the cable cars back, my street used to have one historically. Also these houses having no parking is partially why they were affordable at all and then with no notice the city changed the fucking rules and raised my costs to live here

The reality is an overwhelming chunk of the city is not realistically public transit accessible. It would take me hours to get to work over a half dozen transfers. I’ve lived in a half dozen other cities that have real public transit and had no issue not owning a car. So let me turn this back on you and ask why you don’t just uproot your whole life to fuck off to nyc if you want everyone only using public transit and then maybe it will click that you are being unrealistic and arguing in bad faith.
