[quote=Anonymous][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]

LOL, I live between NYC and DC.  Come over and visit and try to drive from Queens or Riverdale into the midtown manhattan in 15 min like you can do from some DC burbs on a weekend.  Even drives to Queens/Brooklyn are a drag given traffic, congested local streets and bridges.  Commuter trains are less frequent and run local, even subways have delays and run local often on weekends.  Just look at google maps traffic on any weekend around NYC and compare to DC.  Just getting from downtown Manhattan to UWS or UES can take 40 min. [/quote]

Exactly. It takes forever to get anywhere. Traffic here isn't great, but traffic between NYC and its burbs is downright hellish.[/quote]
