Comment on Welcome to New York City

I know conventional wisdom is that nobody owns a car there — but there are more privately owned cars than there are parking spaces, and the city strictly enforces alternate-street parking.
His moving violations are because he’s a bad/selfish driver but it’s harder in NYC than almost anywhere else to avoid parking tickets, unless you’re rich enough to pay for a lot/garage, which is about the price of rent in another city.

Always plan accordingly for the conditions. It’s never ok for your lack of planning to become everyone else’s problem.
