$35 a day to commute!?!?! Holy cheese crackers! Of course, we don't have public transportation (not even a taxi cab), but it was my understanding that it was supposed to be economical.
You have to look at the average wages that they make in NY, I was reading in Newsweek that the average wage for a person living in Harlem was 50,000 a year. A friend of mine lives up there and he is a Union Worker and makes over $40 an hour. The cost of living is through the roof like it is in California where a tiny home in SoCal will set you back $500K and your in the hood.

Like Billy said the cost of living here is through the roof but I am in upstate NY not "the hood" so my home was only $200,000 versus the $500 (although if you ask me it wasn't worth 80K as it is just a 3bedroom ranch style home) :-)
If you get a commuter monthly pass it is something to the effect of about $500 for the month....always something here
