Sort of. It sounds OK in pure theory. In practice when we end up loading the car to visit parents/grandparents for a week plus a dog in tow I’m not sure how we end up getting from our apartment door to the peripheral rental car zone which this being Manhattan is presumably in NJ. That’s a lot of cargo! Again I would love a car free Manhattan if I could figure out how to make it work. But many of those who argue this most vehemently I often suspect aren’t trying to raise families in NYC.
