Single/ Family/ Kids ?
You could but it would be dumb
Why would you want a car
True question is why would he want to live in Manhattan and want a car? He could go live in summit NJ or some fancy town and enjoy his nice car with a 25 minute train commute to Manhattan
Yeah why have a cake when you can watch someone else eat it
You can live quite comfortably in Staten Island like that. Queens or the Bronx too and some Brooklyn neighborhoods. If you drop the car, you can rent a 1BR no problem wherever you want. If you really want to drive though, consider New Jersey
Seriously, don't live in Staten Island
Don’t listen to Ex-ADP. Born and raised New Yorker here, Staten Island is the bees knees for raising a family, having more space than the other boroughs, owning a car, manhattan and bk are easily accessible if you live on the north shore.
Why would you want a car in Manhattan?
Don’t spend more than 1% of TC in rent per month. And you can’t afford Manhattan with only 2.8k
The 1% rule don’t apply to VHCL places.
You don't have to live in Manhattan, public transport is good here. 2800 is more than enough for someone without kids in Brooklyn.
Yes you can. Planning and investing is for uncles. Yolo
If you drop the car, yes. Else no.
You can afford the rent but not the car in Manhattan. You really won't want the car if you live in Manhattan anyways.
Only if you have a partner making similar money. Otherwise absolutely not, it cost like 1k a month just for parking
1k for parking, 1k for monthly payments, few hundred for insurance, just to sit in traffic
Correct, Cap One - I was lazy in my answer but this is the real answer
