if you work in The Bronx or Manhattan, and make a good buck, it would be better than living in a small apartment in NYC.

Assuming no bad traffic ...13 minutes to the GWB, then a few minutes on the Cross Bronx Expressway, the maybe FDR Blvd into Manhattan. Probably less than 40 minutes to get to work in Manhattan.

But again, I wouldn't do it.
