Your practical, working knowledge of the NYC subway system is way off the mark. If I had to make an estimate, I'd say you've never been required to depend on the subway beyond the splendid realms of Wall Street and Midtown. Maybe a small tidbit of Williamsburg too. Even in those parts Taxi cabs and car service reign supreme, especially when drunk at 2AM (the social context of dating). That said, I'd like to point out that every city has it's own learning curve, and there's no real way to be honest, and make promises to transplants that any given city's streets will be paved with gold. (...unless, of course, you literally pave them with gold yourself) |

(as for my living credentials go, I've lived in Astoria, Harlem, Jersey City, Long Island City, UWS, ... it's not a park place penthouse, but it is a non-bank-breaking life.)
NYC lets you live near a station much easier than in SF with its linear (in-city) one-line system with a total of seven entire usable city stops.
I think I can destroy your argument with: how many daily private bus services do companies run in NYC vs SF for employees to get from Where They Want To Live to their prescribed daytime slavery zones?
