You just have to try and prove you're a man on every posting don't
you? There was absolutely, positively nothing wrong with the above
statement, yet you had to add your non-contributing words to it. It's
like you think Usenet is your only way to contribute to society.
Judging from what we've seen here, maybe it is.

The fact is you can live in Forest Hills, Jamaica, Astoria and other
neighborhoods and be reasonably close to subways. Even in more
suburban areas, people can take the LIRR to work and leave their cars
in the driveway should they choose.

Many people who have cars in this "outlying" areas don't use them to
get to work everyday. They like them for the convenience of running
errands, etc.
