The above quoted bullshit is what was told to me by that user. Who clearly doesn’t live in NYC. Claimed that percentage came directly from an MTA’s report. Trying to downplay my real life experience as someone living in the eastern part of Queens.

The highlighted areas are.. > part of New York within one kilometer (0.62 miles) of a subway station (see the figure above). The typical person would need to walk about 10-15 minutes to catch a train

> “Less than .1% of NYC residents who commute by car to lower Manhattan live more than 10 minute walk from a subway, commuter rail or express bus stop.” - u/jm14ed

More like the stalking is real. Hiding behind an alt account, no post but a bunch of replies to me.

I don’t remember replying to you. But like clockwork, you racist are drawn to my comments like a moth to a porch light!

Why is that?

Based on a recent post, Santos is a Republican and that’s all that matters to people upset with Democrats.

New Yorkers were really out here voting for Sliwa and Zeldin.

> Last fall, the NYU Stern adjunct professor shot more than 90 videos documenting daytime traffic at random Midtown intersections and found TLC plates made up 36.3 of all vehicles on the road.

> "They are three times more prevalent than taxis and by far the dominant vehicle in the streets, in Midtown, during the weekdays," Riccio said.

> He argues it was a big mistake allowing the city's 100,000 ride-share vehicles to flood the market with minimal fees compared to taxis a decade ago. He proposes for-hire vehicles should be targeted first under congestion pricing and for their drivers to pay a permit fee.

If you drive regularly throughout the tri-state area, you already knew this.

Edit:

I honestly believe the rideshare companies are behind the “fuckcars”, “carbrains”, “ban personal cars” blitz.

Lime is owned by Uber and CitiBike is owned by Lyft. I never seen or heard this much hate for personal car ownership from Native New Yorkers until recently.

I agree the truck shouldn’t have been on that road. This also applies to cyclist not using the two-way bike lane when one is present. If the bike lane isn’t safe, and the street isn’t safe, get off the bike and walk.

Your life isn’t worth proving a point.

> Bike lanes can offer a safer alternative to the street.

Exactly, that was my original point! They’re a safer than riding in the street with 2+ ton vehicles. Same reason why we have sidewalks and crosswalks that pedestrians use, instead of walking in the street.

> Sometimes they are less safe if they are blocked, not maintained or have pedestrians in them. Sometimes, like on this road, there are a line of parked cars between the street and the bike lane and you have to ride down the street before entering the bike lane. Regardless, it is legal and logical for bikes to ride in the street.

Walk the bike until it’s safe to ride in the bike path.

> It is.

It’s not.

> No. All those examples you give are illegal behavior and people using infrastructure in a way it was not designed to be used. She was 100% in the right and did nothing wrong by riding her bike in the street. Legally and operationally street infrastructure is not just for trucks and cars, it is for bikes, motor cycles, scooters and some micro mobility as well.

Yes. Those examples are the equivalent to what happened. I don’t wish death on anyone but I wished she had used better judgment and not take any chances. I’m saying this as a driver that doesn’t feel comfortable around trucks on the expressways.

> She was legally in the right and you're just coming up with excuses for this person who killed her while breaking the law so that you can be what? Convenienced? Is it a culture wars "anti-bike" thing? I think you're purposefully ignoring the fact that two people were involved in this incident. One broke the law and killed someone. One followed the law and died anyway. You are telling me the person who broke the law and killed someone did nothing wrong, a very smooth brained take. Keep it real my dude.

No she’s not. Bikes are required to use the bike lane when they’re available and will be ticketed otherwise. You should know this. The bike and micromobility subs are always alerting other riders of the police ticketing riders for violating this rule!

> RCNY 4-12 (p)(3) Bicyclists should ride in usable bike lanes, unless they are blocked or unsafe for any reason. — SUMMARY OF NYS BIKE LAWS

> It was 100% legal for her to be riding in the street. It was legally ambiguous at best for the truck to be even on that street, and the maneuver they made to pass her was illegal. Now shes dead and it's her fault?

Then what’s the point of the bike lanes? If they’re optional then why have them? Why advocate for ticketing cars for driving or parking in the bike lanes?

> This is like when someone gets shot or assaulted and someone comes out and says "oh well they shouldn't have been out so late", "What were they doing in that neighborhood", "They should have known better". Bitch, that car broke the law, she did not, now shes dead. stfu.

No the fuck it’s not!

There is no designated path for someone wishing to avoid gun carriers, stray bullets or other aggressive pedestrians. Just like there’s no way to avoid aggressive drivers or cyclist!

Ignoring the bike path to ride in the street with the cars and commercial vehicles is more equivalent to a pedestrian crossing a highway, ignoring the pedestrian bridge or a subway rider crossing the tracks instead of using the pedestrian tunnel underneath / bridge above.

There was a two-way bike lane across the street from where Kala was killed.

In order for her to enforce broken windows she’s going to need the officers to comply correct? And who does she report to? Goes both ways, if the officers fuck up or slack off, guess who they have to answer to?

Who’s the Police Commissioner?

Show me where I back pedaled.

Which Mayoral candidates were endorsed by NYPD?

> But the ever-ebullient Adams still shared a festive moment with us, showing up at The New York Post holiday party Tuesday night in Chelsea — and cheerfully joking with a PageSix.com reporter that the page “covers me more than anyone else.” (When the scribe pointed out that he does, after all, love to party, he gave a laugh.)

How many of the Post Reddit fans were invited to the holiday party?

> I generally save my energy for more pressing issues than statues

That is a lie. Look at you in the comments right now. I wasn’t even talking to you and you jumped in the comments. Why?

You speak as if those statues no longer exist and those holidays are no longer celebrated.

I’ll answer your question after you create a post about why we should get rid of those statues and why we shouldn’t be celebrating holidays that honor criminals.

Yet here you are defending this statement, about a group of boys who went to jail and spent a lot time behind bars. They paid for whatever crimes they may have committed that night and for crimes they didn’t commit.

What jail time has any of the individuals this country erected statues of serve? Also love how you leaped over the holiday part!

This country erected statues and created holidays for men who did a lot worse.

What’s the issue? The mayor now has space to build the tents along fifth Avenue.

We’ll look at that, the Top 3 posts are hating on cars.

I see you drank somebodies koolaid. Your comments reek of a realty broker transplant. No level of vacant properties will decrease the demand. As someone else stated there’s a lot residential and commercial vacancies in the city currently.

Gentrification is pushing out local low-income and middle-class families. Not because of a “stock” shortage, but because they can afford to pay 3x the asking price.

You’re right, not everyone owns a car but we understand pumping more money into the MTA isn’t the answer. Transit deserts, have been ignored by the MTA and the micro-mobility advocates. Thats because the transit deserts are undesirable to the transplants, “because it’s too far from the subway”. Even though those communities have zero congestion.

> Locals won't be priced out of neighborhoods if the city actually built adequate housing stock to keep up with demand.

The demand will never go down unless the city goes bankrupt and NYC becomes the “City of God”, like in the late 60s, early 70s.

Explain the real reason why gentrification exploded. People are getting priced out be the new residents are willing to pay 2x-3x the rent. They avoid the established businesses that the locals supported. They complain about the local customs/activities/noises, in turn criminalizing/punishing the locals.

Just look at the mircomobility movement. NYC always had cyclist of all ages. But after gentrification popped up, they became anti-car and swear the MTA has no flaws.
