Moving to NYC --> bring my car?
Hi guys!
I'm might be moving to New York for the next 3 years as a resident at a hospital in east Brooklyn (apparently Mike Tyson's old hood). I'm thinking of living on the western edge of Brooklyn. I realize that driving in Manhattan is a nightmare, how is it in Brooklyn ... do I actually need to drive since the subway is pretty efficient? I'd hate to leave my car for 3 years but at the same time don't want to get it messed up. On a side note, I see tons of nicer vehicles (BMW, Mercedes, Land Rovers, etc) parked near the hospital. Thanks guys!
Thoughts?

i personally wouldn't just b/c it's easy enough to get public transportation and having any car is a pain. it's convenient sometimes but they also have those pretty cheap daily zip car rentals or whatever they're called.
that being said, there are plenty that do it and are just fine.

List it all depends what part of BK you moved to... I live in the Bronx, but the part I live in is a good area. i leave my car parked in the street everyday. But City trans isn't the best transportation. I would say only in mahattan it is because of parking. but when ever you want to go somewhere at the drop of a dime you need a car. Plus for those late night you want to go out, you dont want to be on the subway after 1am.

When I lived in Manhattan, I kept my car parked in NJ, and ended up only using it to drive back to the Midwest to see family. The only times I actually drove into the city was when I moved in and moved out and needed to unload or pick-up my stuff. NYC's a great place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit there. It's a big pain and the *** to get in and out of Manhattan. Brooklyn must be easier.

If you have the funds I would look for an apt in FAR west BKN that includes parking. Most of the new buildings/condos in williamsburg, park slope, or any community along the east river across from manhattan now include parking. It is a great upscale area. Check craigslist there will be a ton.
