What is "all" the cars? Less than half of NYC households own a car[1]; if 100% of households did (or owned more than one, as is common outside of NYC), the city would have nowhere near enough space for them.

(The city already has virtually no space for the 2 million cars that are owned by the city's residents, plus the millions that enter the city daily. We have laws on the books that are intended to reduce the number of unnecessary car trips in the city, but our feckless state leadership has decided that it doesn't need to follow already-passed laws.)
