So one pretty much needs a car.

If I lived there, I'd need one too.
At employer -1, my boss suggested I should relocate to Princeton, NJ where his office was. My office at the time was in walking distance from my home.
"Larry, you haven't got enough money to get mo to relocate."
"But it's such a nice area!"
"Larry, you haven't got enough money to get me to relocate, no matter
how much money you have. I have convenience you can't buy. In Princeton, I would need a car. No. Not going to."
To his credit, he mostly got it.

Hey question: everyone I have talked to that lives in NYC doesn't own a car so why is there so much traffic?
|
NYC is a
large city, and the metropolitan area is about 10 million population. Manhattan is an island. Many,
many people live outside it but work in it, and drive in. There are something like 12,000 medallion cabs (operating a taxi requires a medallion from the city Taxi and Limo Commision), a plethora of limousines, buses, and scads and scads of commercial vehicles and trucks on the street in addition to private cars. Traffic isn't too bad at 3am...
A recent city regulation lowered top speed in the city from 35mph to 25mph. Good luck getting up to 25mph in normal day traffic, let alone 35.

I guess I should take the cords out of the file cabinet.

As long as you know where they are and can find the one you need, why bother?
