...took the population of New York City, all 8.2 million people, and spread them out so that they had the same population density as Vermont, you'd need a land area equivalent to the six New England states plus New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.

The average Vermonter burns 540 gal. of gasoline per year, and the average Manhattanite burns just 90. Only 8% of American households don't own a car. In Manhattan, it's about...

...possible cost of over a thousand dollars a year. Flout the rules and you’ll have to pay hefty fines and might even get your car towed. Off-street parking is available, but most of the time it’s expensive—at least $150 per month. Park in Harvard spots and you risk a ticket. I gave it up as a lost cause for freshman year and much of sophomore year, but gradually, I learned ways to get around these obstacles. On-street and Harvard parking is unenforced in some places after hours...
