A real city should have transportation options for everyone. A city that just dedicates itself to cars and parking lots is a suburb.
NYC is not dedicated to cars though...this is lefty bike zealot anti-car shyt
The fact of the matter is, the City of New York has been going out of its way to remove the FINITE number of public parking that is available, thus making life harder for the people who ALREADY LIVE HERE
Most people who live here are not gonna get a car if they have no place to put it, and using Manhattan as the barometer for what the rest of the city should be is shortsighted governing based on cherry picked numbers by people who think cars are comparable to assault rifles.
I bet you if NYC had Open Primaries to go along with Ranked Choice voting, you'd see a far different tune on most of the positions that these politicians have
Open Streets is not Public Safety and neither is adding CitiBike corrals everywhere especially since them shyts probably won't be used half the year
Parking in NYC is for residents and their guests...demonizing drivers just shows how how of touch with the common person that NYC Democrats really are, and based how little people are voting in primaries and general elections, it's becoming crystal clear that everything in NYC is becoming tailored towards ONE type of voter: young whites, with disposable income, who claim to be progressive but are mostly out for self.
Which is cool...but don't use wedge issues to pretend you are (not you specifically Patty) my ally. I'm a Black man, I've watched these folk build their army of woke drones for 30+ years now, and I don't have to be a Conservative Republican to see that it's flawed.
