When you add car payments and parking does your monthly costs stay under the Manhattan situation?

You don't need a car in JC, especially if you are downtown. But if you do get one, a parking spot is way cheaper than Manhattan.

Parking at my apartment is $225 a month, which is about $300-400 less than monthly parking in Manhattan in a decent covered garage. Car payments and insurance vary greatly, but parking itself is so much cheaper.

You don’t need a car in downtown JC but I will say that I’ve rented a car multiple times to go run errands that were too big/inconvenient for a bus/train multiple times.
