But I don't see how people are going to commute into the city when so many companies are going fully virtual. There is just no need to give away 3-4 hours of your life on mass transit each day. Pointless. So to your point, the city already looks very different. What it will be in 3 years I have no clue. You wouldn't go wrong with either but if I could pick Spring Lake would probably be my first choice. Amazing town. Where are all these virtual jobs everyone talks about. I see very few.

It seemed so normal back then... from 84 to 95 I commuted to Manhattan almost 2 hours EACH WAY from central Long Island. For the last 20 years I have lived 2 miles from my office. I am so spoiled. 90 Percent of the country would NEVER commute more than 40 minutes each way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 SeaStreak is operating from the Atlantic Highlands to NYC that would help those commuting for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
