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.
Any rough guess the min income to raise a kid in manhattan nowadays?
Overall, would you recommend Manhattan (or nearby) with kids? What's your experience been like and do you see staying long term?
Hope you don't mind me asking, I'm just super curious about this topic!
