    NOT AT ALL trying to support this asshole but I know from experience it’s much harder in NYC. 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.

        I mean, I handled it. It just involved a lot of getting up early and driving around for long periods of time. I’m only really reacting to the assertion that is isn’t hard. In the city it is, in fact, not easy.
