I suppose she should take a bicycle or walk, except she is unable to bicycle and can only walk short distances.  Some of the wrath exhibited by the anti-car crowd is not really well thought out.  I am particularly galled at those Manhattanites who move to the nuisance and then complain about it.  If you are really against cars, vote for federal legislators who will change FEDERAL POLICY that props up the automobile industry in this country.  And stop your constant complaining about persons who buy cars.  Where would all you Manhattanites be without the motor vehicles that bring you all your goods and services that are so conveniently located within walking distance to your apartment?

This is what happens when the General Contractor does not fully inform the subcontractors about NYC Parking Laws. Workers are sometimes DELUSIONAL in their rationale about bringing their cars into the city while mass transit is available... More ENFORCEMENT is required. The faults are with the general contractor/city! The construction worker illegaly
