I think we have to do both. We don't stand much chance of rebuilding those institutions if we don't win elections to stanch the wound, start to clean up the mess, and gain some political power.

Please take on Broadway next!

I LOVE the 1962 remake.

Why does it stop in the middle??

I feel like it was about the same.

Yes it's disproportionate and incomplete. But it's frustrating that the increased stress on pedestrians the last several years is seldom mentioned in these conversations. I support bikes, but part of making the city bike-friendly has to be addressing the lawlessness of bike culture.

What's the best way for a pedestrian to dodge a bike flying through a red light at 18-22 mph?

The Venn Diagram of folks calling Zohran an exteme radical and folks shrugging their shoulders about Cuomo being a monstrous piece of shit but deciding they’re gonna vote for him anyways is the clearest Circle in the race.

I don't know who you're arguing with, but you don't seem to want to engage with anything I've said. Cities work better when people make an effort to be considerate. It's baffling to me that you would argue so forcefully against such a simple self-evident idea.

Yes to safer infrastructure, yes to fewer cars on the streets. yes to making it safer to get around, for everyone, including bike riders. But bikers: follow the damn traffic laws, be respectful and yield to pedestrians. Be a considerate person. Pretend it's a city. Make it easier to be on your side.

I've lived here since 1981. It was never so stressful to walk in New York as it is now. Talk to anyone who walks regularly and you'll hear the same stories. Bikers treating pedestrians with condescension when they complain about it just alienates people who should be, who want to be, your allies.

As I said, this policy is wrong. I am FOR more bikes, fewer cars. But we need to address a bike culture that excuses lawless behavior that makes our streets increasingly stressful for pedestrians and turns them against pro-bike policy.

This policy is all kinds of wrong BUT it will be popular. NYers are sick of having to dodge bicyclers flying through stop lights at every intersection, riding against traffic, not signaling, no lights at night, jumping curbs. Make the city bike friendly, but don't make it pedestrians UNfriendly.
