Thats about what it costs monthly to commute from NJ to NYC about 450 a month.
Paying $100 a week just to go to work is insane

and herein lies the other problem. outside of maybe 3 cities in the united states, commuting via public transportation isn't that feasible.
the auto lobby spends HUGE money to prevent cities from expanding their public transportation infrastructure. there's no reason why we are supposedly in the richest country in the world, yet have no high speed rail.
You know what, I’m not even gonna be mean today. Never mind.
She was still in college when she started applying for the housing lottery. Now, she pays $1,600 for a one-bedroom apartment in NYC.

I thought she was living far out in like Rosedale or Queens Village or something but she lives in Jamaica.
She's got multiple subway options but makes the more expensive choice and complains.

I mean they could get rid of those buildings but that means they’d also get rid of jobs too.

She should invest in a monthly LIRR pass which for her zone is $207 a month which means a savings of at least $83 a month compared to her $7.25 one way ticket price. The MTA, unless you take it more than 12 times a week doesn't save you money since it caps at $35 a week. But yeah it's expensive to take the LIRR and the MTA. She could probably take the bus to the train but it'll take a lot longer.

One of the ways that China reduced poverty so dramatically was to strategically reposition employment hubs in convenient proximity to population hubs and route public transportation to accommodate the connection.
Simple enough. You can effectively be given a pay raise with functional affordable public transit
This isn't an unknown urban planning success. Between such examples and outright banning vehicles that could help the masses by causes car prices to plummet, these conditions are being knowingly imposed on the people
