That NYC commute, along with the insane taxes and cost of living is why I left. I lived in the DC area back in the early 90’s and the commute was a dream compared to NY and you could afford an apartment. Now, the commute has followed me and a 35 minute cruise has turned into two hour torture session.
Good thing the democrats have made it their business to impede road construction and expansion in favor of an overly expensive, uncomfortable, and inconvenient public transportation system that is inadequate and falling apart.
But you have to admit you meet people you otherwise wouldn't.
