    I appreciate that they linked to the actual transportation agenda, but when you look at the article and agenda side-by-side, it becomes really obvious how dishonest NY Post is being here

    NY Post is outright lying about parks in the middle of streets. I get their biases, but shouldn’t they at least pretend to be honest?

    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.

        Paris did the same thing Mamdani wants to do in NYC: Turn roads into green spaces and pedestrian paths/bikeways and make it much easier to get around without a car. While the people there were at first unsure about it and complained, they’ve been really happy with it now that it’s proven itself to be beneficial. The air is cleaner, and the streets are safer and far less congested. It’s totally transformed Paris.

            I lived there before all the change and I am always confused as to why I didn’t like it more when I lived there. then I remember that it was a lot worse than today hahaha. I love walking along the river but could not do it before; I actually almost biked on the speedway and died while now it is a pedestrian bike way
