@BrentToderian @mateosfo What if your city has invested billions of space to these lanes but statistics show <1% of city residents actually use them? At what point would one be prepared to accept the experiment is a failure?

If you’re in your car in traffic and you see people moving smoothly on bikes in a protected bike-lane, or a full bus zooming past you in a bus-only lane, sure you could be mad at them for moving faster than you, or you could be someone who understands geometry and knows that providing mobility choices that take less space makes getting around cities better for EVERYONE.

@vinbarone Now prove that there is bicycle traffic in the bike lanes lol When will we accept that the bicycle experiment has failed?

Streetfilms’ archive is also a good resource for people who claim there was somehow no traffic in Manhattan 20 years ago.

@zaft_op9 @QuinlanQuinlan @Boenau Now do what percentage of New Yorkers use cycling lanes

"Residents won't use bikes or scooters." "Commuters won't use bikes or scooters." "Tourists won't use bikes or scooters." And then something magical happens when you create a network of bike lanes. 👀

@adapa70 @ParvadaM20254 @StatusQuoRules @jjjjjeeeel @BriannaWu It seems like we agree that it is evil for anyone to die just so one people can invade or conquer another. It's time for both sides to lay down their arms and recognize today's borders as forever so that there will be peace. 🕊️

@GregoryFrank11 @ParvadaM20254 @StatusQuoRules @jjjjjeeeel @BriannaWu The majority of Israelis want to continue it's cleansing of Palestinians from the region. Between supporting the group that talks shit but can't do shit or supporting the group that talks shit AND doing shit... the moral choice is to oppose the group doing the shit.

Progressives seem able to grasp ideas like overpolicing but are unable to apply those concepts to the West Bank. Here’s the truth. Judea and Samaria are the historic homeland of the Jewish people. Jordan briefly held this land after 1948 but it was never recognized as theirs. Since Israel recaptured it in the Six-Day War, international law has often been used as a weapon against Israel as it tries to keep its people safe. There are about 50 Muslim-majority countries. There is one Jewish state. And as politically incorrect as it sounds, many politicians in those Muslim-majority countries gain power the same way racist Mississippi politicians in the Deep South once did, by demonizing Israelis. There are regular terror attacks in the West Bank against Israelis living there, which Israel considers legal under the Oslo Accords. Progressives don’t seem to care. Their best plan seems to be for Jews to roll over and die.

@bfurnas Example: Free buses has never worked in any major American city

Can’t emphasize enough the importance of doing things that work.

@AlexSJacquez Why are the costs for services record-breakingly high for this administration? Has anyone ever spent so much per student or per homeless person with so little results?

Really exciting that NYC is generating operational efficiencies by in-sourcing needlessly outsourced public services and functions, building city capacity. More of this!

@AyendeChand @musharbash_b @ZephyrTeachout He can credit Adams, another Dem, for Adams' accomplishments. He doesn't have to take credit for what he didn't do

@GregoryFrank11 @musharbash_b @ZephyrTeachout doesn’t really matter if he contributed to it or not, it’s a good thing he agrees with Happening under his administration An important part of being a good politician is loudly taking credit, something Dems suck at

This comes out to $2,400 on average for each worker affected. That’s real money — more than all the stimmy checks combined. And Sam is still litigating to get even more compensation for workers’ damages. This is what government of the people looks like.

@AyendeChand @musharbash_b @ZephyrTeachout Why do you think he had anything to do with this?

@musharbash_b @ZephyrTeachout I hope Zohran put his name on some kind of communication about those checks

@StreetsblogNYC Streetsblog pretends to be for better walking but chooses the bikers over the much, much, much more numerous pedestrians? The metaphor to cars is a distraction from whose rights are actually being hurt by all this--pedestrians

New York City's criminal crackdown on cyclists finally ends this Friday, after nearly a year of forcing cyclists to go to criminal court for the same infractions that'd earn car drivers a moving violation. Here's what you need to know.

@NetsDaily Low-interest rates during Covid have had devastating economic effects. In this instance, keeping prices high.

Wait, I thought everyone was leaving because Marxism and radical Islam had taken over?!?

@west4thstreet @JakeAnbinder Jake is mad that the space is being used for the needs of the many, not the needs of the few. The form of the park is just a cowardly proxy for his anti-populism

@JakeAnbinder I am kidding and maybe it’s the suburban Californian in me that I took umbrage to the suggestion that the Home Depot garden section is anything but awesome

if by "rare nature enclave" you mean "evocative of the garden section of a Home Depot"

@JakeAnbinder It sounds like you're pushing to create more parkland downtown but you're actually a jerk who wants less???

@ParvadaM20254 @StatusQuoRules @jjjjjeeeel @BriannaWu You didn't respond to the point about how Palestinian polling consistently shows no will for their own state--they only want to conquer Israel 😬

@StatusQuoRules @jjjjjeeeel @BriannaWu Nihilism is a nasty thing, seek God.

@PaulCapo55 @EmilyAssembly She represents those wealthy people--look at her district--she's just bad representative.

@EmilyAssembly It won’t be long now with you clowns in charge the tax base is heading south. I happen to like the idea of having weathy people as my neighbors.

NYC is home to more millionaires and billionaires than any other place on Earth, and Trump just gave them a massive federal tax cut. Hundreds of thousands of NYers are about to lose healthcare because of that same cut. We can literally save lives by raising taxes on the rich.

@Henry_George63 @EmilyAssembly Emily, please respond

@EmilyAssembly And the only real change in OBBBA is the $40k Salt cap instead of $10k, which phased out at $600k, so the OBBBA continued the tax hikes on high income earners

@crossing5000 @Estarkmiller @nytimes @stefanoschen @gregmocker Why aren't they autonomous? What kind of "strategist" advocates locking into new non-autonomous vehicles in 2026??

@Estarkmiller Out with the old and in with the new! I'm thrilled to be a major part of the transportation industry. 🥳 #Transportation #Industry @nytimes @stefanoschen @gregmocker

MTA Chair Janno Lieber in the agency’s sunset park testing facility this AM announcing an RFP for its largest order of new subway cars ever. The 2,300 new cars will replace most of the A Division trains — the numbered lines.

@Estarkmiller WHY AREN'T THEY GOING TO BE AUTONOMOUS??

@DD4PeoplePower @A1an_M @mishtal @rakibehsan @Policy_Exchange Are you a college freshman? You have a long way to go, little bro

@GregoryFrank11 @A1an_M @mishtal @rakibehsan @Policy_Exchange I believe you prefer one dictator over another. You, Sir, should give your head a shake. 🫨

Shocking new polling shows British Muslims prefer Iran, China and Russia to the US & Israel. This is alignment with despots, the ayatollahs, enemies of the UK, and the 'axis of resistance' - and it should worry us all. Great work from @rakibehsan see report @Policy_Exchange

@AreisNY1 @owenslindsay1 Lindsay probably also wants to spend other people's money as a solution to her private problems, she just doesn't try because it's socially frowned upon.

@owenslindsay1 It's amazing how others will do the same gymnastics to not look at their expenses. We cannot keep on spending without looking at potential ways to save money. Progressives here seem like they want to spend without oversight. We should audit ourselves. its responsible.

It’s amazing the mental gymnastics some politicians will go through to avoid raising taxes on the rich. Good for Mamdani for calling this out.

@owenslindsay1 Shouldn't you pay all of your money into taxes before reaching into other people's pockets? Not just in the government sphere, but in the private sphere spending other people's money as a solution to your problems probably seems like a really good idea.
