	New York Apartments
		The Empire State is most famous for New York City, not technically the state capital, but without a doubt one of the most important cities in the country and in the world.
		New York State's overall cost of living is 20% above the national average, with housing costs bearing the brunt of it at 40% above the average.
		New York City is the main culprit of these high numbers; it's difficult to find affordable apartments for rent in the city, especially in popular boroughs Manhattan and Brooklyn, unless you're lucky enough to have a high-paying job, independent wealth or multiple roommates willing to squish in to tiny studio apartments.

	The Impact of the IRT on New York City (Hood)
		This new construction, by reason of the value of the land, has been of the highest type, and it is evident that the Drive's popularity with apartment dwellers is to be fully as great and certainly more permanent than was its popularity with the builders of fine residences.
		New Yorkers lack good air, good sunlight, and enough space for comfort, and the great want of the subway is that it will begin the process of restoring to the inhabitants of the city sufficient allowance of habitable room, air and sunlight...

	PROGRESS IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.--NEW ENGLAND AND NEW YORK RAILWAYS.--Ringwalt
		The state of New York pursued a peculiar policy in reference to railways at that time, inasmuch as it was unwilling to permit rivalry with the Erie Canal, and lines located near that canal, which were subsequently incorporated into the New York Central system, were at first not permitted to carry any freight.
		The progress of the transportation movements in New Jersey is set forth in a report of the joint board of directors to the stockholders of the Delaware and Raritan Canal, and Camden and Amboy Railroad and Transportation Companies, presented at a meeting held on January 29th, 1840.
		The only other extensive continuous systems under a single management were the New York canals and the main line and branches of the Pennsylvania system of internal improvements, which incidentally included two railways that were about 120 miles in length.

	Tramway Postcard - New York Railways Company
		The car had been designed by Frank Hadley (Vice-President and General Manager of the New York company) and James S. Doyle (the Superintendent of Car Equipment) as a logical development of their single-deck "stepless", or low-floor, trams that had collected the nickname of 'hobble-skirt' cars.
		New York 6000 was actually built by the J.G.Brill Company of Philadelphia to Hadley and Doyle's patented design, which had been filed in 1912.
		The overall low height of the car (little more than 12 feet, or 4m) was partly due to the fact that central New York operated its trams on the conduit system and not from an overhead wire with trolley-pole pickup.

		The last of the New York Railways lines, which I rode many times as a child, the 86th Street crosstown, was converted to bus in the summer of 1936.
		At the same time the street railways had a quasi-public aspect to them -- they had a franchise or charter enabling them to use city streets -- which made them a natural target for voters feeling that fares were too high and franchise fees too low.
