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