Why do you have a car? Getting rid of that will take a lot of stress and cost away.

Meeting people isn’t easy as an adult, but there are so many organizations, clubs, teams, that you can get involved with. Think about things you enjoy doing. If there’s a club or group for those things anywhere, they’d be in NYC or JC.

he said his job is in a 'suburb' of jc. I'm curious what that means, but at a minimum it seems to imply his job isn't mass transit accessible.

and the default 'dont have a car' kneejerk is silly. one of the main reasons i left NYC for jc was that it was much more reasonable and affordable and practical to keep a car here. i walk to work, but i recreate outside of jc/nyc. for the lifestyle i want to live, i want a car. living in jc enables having it.

I don't know. It sounds like you've sorted out car ownership and storage. And I agree that I want to know what this suburb is that is not transit accessible. But this new resident listed learning to street park as a top concern. You want to blunt the financial, emotional, and operational costs of an unexpected year in Journal Square? The first thing you do is ditch your car.

Argh, that's what I get for skimming and only catching the "NYC" part.
