It depends on how often you do it and where you wind up. as you prob know already, it's all about what train lines you are near. A d as you know, the subways run less freq at night and the path is one of the worst, I'm talking like 30 min headways after midnight but you can always check the schedule ahead of time and that I combination with checking the MTA schedule should save you previous waiting time in stations but it's still annoying.

In my 20s I moved to JC for a year after having lived in Manhattan and BK for years. I moved back to BK after that bc I felt isolated and I was only going out in Manhattan and BK. Now having moved to JC recently in my 30s, it's a different lifestyle and I still go out in Manhattan and BK all the time but my nights tend to be less inebriated, I'm partnered up, and I usually still head home earlier in the night now. And it's fine for me. The occasional expensive cab is also not that big of a problem although with the Holland tunnel closures coming up, might want to stay cognizant of that too.

That being said I think it depends on your tolerance for public transit woes and hiccups. Otherwise, the path still runs 24/7 so you should generally be okay .

I am so sorry for your loss. That is quite an unfortunate circumstance but not giving homeless people to use or things like food, essentials etc isn't really a solution either? And advocating to never give money to a homeless person is not a hard and fast rule for me. Honestly. Once in I've given that money away it is unconditional - I don't have a say as to how it is used. What if no one gave money and the person became desperate and tried to steal it from the store and got shot by a store owner or police instead? These scenarios are just as likely and also result in death.

Instead there are systemic issues that should be addressed like a like of support systems and access to affordable housing and safe shelters and substance abuse treatment centers including harm reduction places like safe injection sites.
