I would take half the restaurants.

Wish granted, you have all the cars, but no trains or buses.

Do you just...live chairless?

Boom, roasted.

One day some lady brought her full grocery store cart she took from No Frills on the bus. I think the driver was just too tired to argue.

Its an infrequent question you get if you dont own a car in the US. With mass transit generally being shit everywhere, but slightly less shit in cities, people who dont live in cities think moving things around is impossible, because a car is the only possibility that they are personally acquainted with.

Its not impossible, just vaguely awkward sometimes as this meme shows, which is a solid tradeoff for not having to deal with all the bullshit owning a car entails.

I think it's because... "rural" people who shit on NYC, yet have never set foot in a modern American city, will hear shit on Fox News and literally believe that the NYC subway is a warzone for rival vagrants to fight to the death, and there's no way you'd be able to transport something like that without it being stolen, or broken, etc.

I also don't get it.

Obviously they are not the same if one is comfortable in NYC, on the subway with a chair, and the other one is not.

Is this an idiom I don't understand? We are not the same? Is it like Kendrick Lamar saying "they not like us"?

Agreed, but at least the two chairs you brought provided a nice table for that plant.

Would you want to carry an entire dining room set while walking or taking the subway home?

It would be difficult to carry even just two non-folding chairs without inadvertently being an asshole to people around you, unless the sidewalks were dead.

Who says she just has one? She might be taking one chair a day home.

If you're referring to the anti-immigrant shit, then NYC is probably one of the safest places in the country you could stay in that regard. They value multiculturalism there.

Yes, I concur. Have been coming to the US since 1992, no more. The last time was 2023 and I don't forsee anytime soon I'll be returning.

Come to Toronto! It's like NYC lite

How else you going to poop on the subway?

Such a portable toilet might be great for shit posting whilst waiting for the train.

Unfortunately someone needs to photoshop a bit of the background platform colour in there

That's the bottom of the chair, not a hole

Not counting nice walks in prospect Park, I can get on the metro north train and go on a variety of hikes. It's not 20 steps, but I also get all the other benefits of a city.

Also Manhattan isn't known for smog, and there is a lot more to New York than Manhattan. Go look at like park slope or Astoria

I'm a little amused by the down votes.

Yes some cities have a lot of perks, no the air quality isn't as bad as the 60s, but pretending that taking the metro to the park is comparable to living in a forest is a little silly.

I'm from the country side and I very much like easy access to nature, but New York is a great city, especially with all the parks! The subway is bomb

Yeah, I think you're being a bit hyperbolic, but I generally agree. I live about an hour from Manhattan (from the Holland, and then another hour to get through lololol), but I'm fifteen minutes from a reservoir that you can hike and boat, fifteen minutes from farms. My town is walkable, and I can walk to a hospital, grocery store, and library in, you guessed it, fifteen minutes. I'm an hour and change from the shore, about the same from the Poconos. I like having access to all the places, but I like to live in suburbia.

It's funny how you can immediately tell when someone has never been to a big city

Smog hasn't been a problem in US cities since like the 60s...
