When I spend a lot of time in New York, or somewhere when I don't have a car, I miss that mobility and freedom that you have when you have a car. You don't have to rely on anyone else.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like driving; I don't drive since I live in New York. I don't have an opportunity to drive, like, ever.
For me, not owning a car means I may spend a little extra time on public transportation, but I can use that time to read, catch up on work projects, and make the phone calls I couldn't get to earlier. Plus, I never waste time at the mechanics or gas station.
New York is hard for me. I grew up in Texas. I can't do without my car, and you can't have a car in New York.
I miss the anonymity that comes with New York because everyone around you is so immersed in their own journey.
Growing up in New York City, my car culture is minimal. I rode on the train, the bus. I walked; I rode my bike, and when I was younger, I rode my skateboard.
I still don't have a car. I still travel by public transport. I take autos to travel to and fro for recordings.
I miss New York terribly. There is no place like the city. I miss people-watching. I miss the nightlife. I miss the food. There are so many options in New York City.
Not having to own a car has made me realize what a waste of time the automobile is.
Everything is so convenient in New York.
New York, like the Soviet Union, has this universal usefulness: It makes you glad you live elsewhere.
