I think there's something to be said for places like Houston vs Chicago though. In Chicago I can easily find and take public transit to get around. You don't necessarily need a car.

In Houston however you pretty much need it. It'll take you at least half an hour to get anywhere, no matter how close it may be geographically

And in NYC a car is a liability.
