Jesus christ..the fine for killing a dog with a car is lower than fine for parking in handicap spot.

Reply to comment by HEIMDVLLR in Traffic study by former head of NYC DOT reveals what he says is ultimate cause of congestion by HEIMDVLLR
Your belief is a fact. TransAlt took lot of donations from uber and lyft and suddenly all city council clowns are singing ban cars while literally video conferencing from backseat of taxpayer funded chauffeured cars. They are also paying lot of influencers on social media and thinktanks to push this urbanism car free cities narrative on twitter. Lot of it also has to do with suburban transplants who grew up with car culture in ohio so they hate cars but most of us immigrants and city dwellers who grew up in poor countries and been traveling in trains and buses and riding bikes since childhood know that cars improve standard of living and take you places nothing else can in any part of the world.
The goal of lyft and modern luxury condominium developers is to eliminate car ownership to take away streets for building more luxury condos and increase lyft and citibike dependency. they have already increased citibike annual fee to over $200 which i think is ridiculous as you can own a bike for $200.

Singapore meanwhile has among highest standards of living in the world and new york has some of the worst quality of life for a big global city. Singapore also has low tax, low crime, low homelessness and singapore also managed COVID pretty well.

Maybe he was too busy tweeting “ban cars!” to notice the cars.
