    Eh, parking costs is a huge problem.

    Its probably the reason why my parents never got a car when they were in China.

    Its the same in NYC tbh. I mean, brooklyn, maybe, but if you wanna go to Chinatown in Manhattan, yea… good luck finding parking. Its not even that “Public Transit is good” (NYC subway is filthy compared to China’s subway, and also there’s no safety barriers in NYC, feels sketchy to wait for a train/subway because you get the feeling like some racist is about to push you 😕), since missing a scheduled subway/bus is gonna make you like 30 minutes late. Its just that having a car is so inconvienient in a crowded city, so much so that even the terrible public transit system is better than having a car.

    Now in philly, there is street parking, and malls with parking lots… so… yea we got 2 cars in the family… 🤷‍♂️
