I live in Brooklyn with kids and do not have a car. Equally possible in Manhattan - have car-less friends with kids there too.

Just saying it is possible, and certainly not everyone’s choice.

Same. We live in Manhattan with two kids and owning a car is just an added expense without much benefit. To be fair, if you lived further out in Brooklyn (Bayridge, Sussex Beach and Coney Island) you probably need a car for the day to day.
