yeah but it's the cops who have to call in the tow. of course they're not going to tow themselves. but yes, legalize predatory towing of any and all cars in bike lanes or on sidewalks.

look at all that open space on either side of the human corral. they give us scraps and make us fight over them.

like, I don't even blame people for walking in that bike lane. look how crowded it is.

I am going to hope/assume that there are NYC bicyclists that put stickers on the cars in the bike lane, preferably ones that can't be removed without damaging the paint

even more preferable they say "stay out of our bike lane bitch"

it's the cops doing it. people have been constantly reporting it (+blatant cronyism) for ages and nothing happens

Getting rid of cars and Obama‘a deregulation of methane..sorry fracking, wouldn’t solve climate change, but it could give mankind a fighting chance.

Unfortunately neither of those things will solve racism, so we have no choice but to continue with the status quo.

I'm not sure what it's called but there's one street plan where every other street is pedestrians only, and on these streets you have storefronts on both sides. And on the alternating streets you have the store backs, and you can park on the street there.

A nation of people who tolerate horrible cities will tolerate horrible policing, horrible economic policy and horrible bigotry, horrible environment collapse and is inevitably a horrible nations.

The suburban experiment of building cities for the car is are the root of all America's problems. If there was a political party that had no other platform than making cities not suck all of my apathy would blow away in the wind I would support them wholeheartedly.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
If those exist in this country it'll only be a matter of time before some rear end in a top hat kills themselves on one and they're sued into removing it

I know right, now let me take a big sip of coffee and read this Upton Sinclair book.

But seriously it feels like so many cities are just a microcosm of the same mindsets that make living in America such a drag. Nobody cares about the cities, nobody cares about the country, it's all such a fuckup stew. Anyhow, I'm just pissy because I'm trying to plan a bike tour and roads that aren't designed to kill me do not exist.

Seventy-seven percent of those with disabilities and 82 percent of the nondisabled rode in a personal motor vehicle as a passenger for local travel.
