Great. Give me a 2bdm/2ba apt in Manhattan for less than $1700 and I'll give up my car completely too. You're just proving my point for me.

That over $1700 price is a negative externality of home-as-investment culture and racist downzoning. There is no natural law that says the 2 bed/2 bath apartment has to be so expensive.

What about Brooklyn or somewhere else commutable by PT or cycle? Do you really need two bedrooms - and two bathrooms? What space can you really live in?
