[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once you get to Penn station or grand central, you have to transfer to the subway. NY suburbs feel much further than DC suburbs.  [/quote]

They actually are, the high density urban highrise core of NYC is really large, you have to drive out far to get into the land of single family homes.  [/quote]

You sound clueless. There are literally hundreds of suburban towns in NJ, a ferry/tunnel/train away from midtown, where you can find SFHs. Teaneck, Rutherford, Lyndhurst to name a few. And don't forget about literally all of Queens, western Long Island, and places like Riverdale, Mount Vernon, etc. Public transit is also 1000x more reliable around NYC and runs around the clock weekdays and weekends.[/quote]

I lived there for 15 years. The commute into Manhattan from anywhere is life draining. Here we can drive and still get to work in 45 minutes max. Houses in riverdale are way over 1m. Long Island is awful to go into the city any time of day. Have you ever done a rush hour commute from queens into Manhattan? A can of sardines has more space. [/quote]
