I can understand the need of cars in sub-urban areas but where do
Manhattanties need cars so badly in Mid-Town?

How many % of Manhattanties own a car?
How of them use it daily in Manhattan?

Well, perhaps you are used to waiting in traffic lights, noise of cars.
Manhattan is wonderfull as it is but could it be even better with car-free
areas?

Has this kind of issues been discussed?

(In car-free areas the supply of goods is taken care between hours 6 - 10
AM)
