Conservatives always make leftists sound cooler than they really are lol.

In fact, I took one of my taglines from Trump's anti-trans executive order, "An Anti American Ideology". I'm a trans performer

More of this please, I want NYPOST in tears every single day.

🤣 “War on Drivers”. Thanks NY Post, I needed a laugh

Good. Fuck car culture. Fuck the nypost too.

LETS

FUCKIN

GOOOOOOO

Where can I enlist for this war on cars?

Either way I read the article and I absolutely love everything they are saying Furnas is going to do.

I want to highlight a thingy in the article, NYT mentions "What about the mobility of seniors?" like they are all allowed to drive or have someone to drive them around if not.

A bio, so you don’t need to read the ridiculous NY post https://www.atkinson.cornell.edu/profile/ben-furnas/

Goodness, this article was a pain to read. Every single point raised is easily refutable but there's one particular paragraph I wanted to pick apart:

Among the plan’s more than 80 demands is a bizarre proposal to build playgrounds smack in the middle of city streets that would then be redesigned into cul-de-sacs — a move the group claims will solve the city’s “playground desert problem.”

Imagine calling a plan to build more playgrounds - something that would provide a long-term benefit for children- "bizarre" just because it just might remove some streets? I don't want come off as employing the overused "think of the children" argument since it's used to justify censorship but children do, in fact, have a right to clean spaces with breathable, unpolluted air.

War on Drivers

Dogshit title.

Its a war on the automotive industry and their planet killing infrastructure that's forced millions of Americans to own cars they can't even afford to get to jobs late that don't even adequately compensate them.

Best news I've seen all day!

NY Post is a Trump loving rag. Please don't give them clicks.

car-hating activist

Oh boy, here we go. 🤣

Hell yeah. Conscript me for this shit, we going netherlands on new years on those smelly fucks.

One of the many stupid things about it is that generally speaking, most measures to reduce cars have the effect of making car travel more pleasant. It's building tons of extra lanes that drives its own demand and makes driving slow and unpleasant.

Lmao the New York fuckin Post

Why are we posting Murdock owned rags?

If it's so bad why could they only find Ms Rauch to complain about it? Seems like an article about a plan that's hated by a lot of people would be able to find more than one lady to talk to.

Wow that was a horrible and very onesided article.

Opening lines of the article:

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani could make driving in the Big Apple hell on wheels

Oh fucking please. NYC has always been a shit-show to drive in. If they would improve the mass transit options, i would never choose to drive in.

New York is going to get the same media coverage as Paris did. Paris got so much better in the last 15 years it’s absolutely crazy.

nypost was so sour about mamdani's election that it lead to this masterpiece:

That New York Post article is a hate-filled piece of garbage.

For example, it hates against these "polarizing rat-riddled street dining shacks" (quote is from the article).

I can guarantee you, i live in Vienna, we have these things all over the place. There's at least 5 of them on my way from where i live to university. There's never been any problems with them. In fact, they're delicious and typically much cheaper than sit-in restaurants. That's probably because they don't have to pay for expensive rooms. That makes the food much cheaper, it's typically around 5€ for a kebab (basically a sandwich) compared to 12€ for anything you get at a sit-in restaurant. I have gone to these street dining shacks every day for years and never had problems.

This article reads like satire, they're so mad

I see your point, but nypost is not a reliable source. Please repost with a link that's credible

So what's the problem?

The first time I went to NYC, car traffic was still allowed on Broadway between 46th and 47th in Times Square. Closing it off gave all these tourists somewhere to go and made crossing the street so much safer. It’s crazy to me that so much real estate was ceded to making the area 5% more convenient for drivers when the land was so much better used for pedestrians. NYC is already so walkable but I’d love to see it even less congested. No reason not to use the bus.
