One way to fix the commutes would be to get more ferries from around the perimeter of the island and not just going to Manhattan, but Brooklyn too. I have no hope the roads can be improved nor do I expect another train line, but ferries would be more doable. Especially one from the south shore.

First, it’s way worse coming from NJ or PA to NYC now that more people moved out of the city during the pandemic so the commutes are no longer comparable. Also, I’ve had both long driving commutes and long mass transit commutes - no contest, driving is the absolute worst. It just feels so much longer because at least on the bus I can pass the time doing anything but driving.

When my husband retires, maybe. We're from North Jersey originally. I still have to go to the city, so it would take me half the time from there.

It's actually not so bad as long as the bus is running on time. My mortgage is locked in at a good rate since we bought it in 2014, so it's affordable living out here. I'm probably not as sleep deprived as most from here lol
