Also, traveling on the subway on the weekend in the "outer" boroughs is a dismal thing -- half the trains don't run on the weekends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-1172604526849781032007-02-27T14:28:00.000-05:002007-02-27T14:28:00.000-05:00Fair enough. It's the people who buy a car so that they can drive to Fairway or the Hamptons that bug me. But obviously, some people who live in the city are in need of a vehicle.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-1172604372575074482007-02-27T14:26:00.000-05:002007-02-27T14:26:00.000-05:00And M, for rush hour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-1172599759895123552007-02-27T13:09:00.000-05:002007-02-27T13:09:00.000-05:00I own a car because I have need to travel to places beyond the city, but I agree that we need muni meters, resident parking permits and tolls on the East River bridges to ease congestion.<BR/>Maybe with permits we'd all have a fair shake at on street parking.<BR/><BR/>p.s.you forgot the Q and DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-1172587288410120712007-02-27T09:41:00.000-05:002007-02-27T09:41:00.000-05:00Sorry, but can someone please explain to me why you need a car in Park Slope? What, the F, B, N, R, 2, 3, 4, 5, B63, B69, B71, B75, and B77 aren't enough for you? Park Slope, and New York as a whole, needs to start taxing the hell out of cars.
