You won a company parking raffle but you’re generalizing your situation to everyone. Most people don’t win company raffles. Help me understand how your experience applies to most low-income residents.
I didn’t own a vehicle the entire time I lived in NYC and very few people I knew did. The ones who did only used their cars on weekends. For most of the time I lived there, I had two trains with an underground transfer at Times Square. It still wasn’t worth the hassle and cost of owning a car. Parts of Queens and Brooklyn can be a different story for getting around locally, but my commute most days was just 25-30 minutes each way. I moved away a few years back and miss the freedom and walkability.
Low-income people use the subway and cross-town buses.
