The people who post this meme often do not want for-profit housing development of any kind.

If traffic gets bad enough people will make different decisions.

Yeah these 5 over 1s really ruin the neighborhood character of my suburban strip mall state highway hell.

Leave them as derelict auto body warehouses tyvm.

What if there was just an internationally recognized state with internationally recognized borders and the right to govern and defend itself? Wouldn't that just be kooky?

I live in the PNW so our rain is usually light enough not to merit them. I have heard people swear by the Clever Hood though.

And how the UNRWA responded, which, as we've seen time and time again, is never enough for these bloodthirsty ghouls: https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1149081

When will the rest of the world learn that it is pointless to try to placate Israel or treat them as though they are acting in good faith? The whole state is run by genocidal fascists who will never be satisfied by even the most obeisant allies.

Here's why this story is fake:

They could lose their liquor license for not verifying that the person under the cat head was the person on the ID.

Yeah. Your bars (handlebars) are attached to your head set and head tube by your stem. The stem should have some bolts on it you can undo. Once they're gone you can remove the bar. Then it's just a matter of getting a new one that's the right diameter and sticking it back in.

Bikes are great. Anybody can fix a bike and there are tons of replacement parts all over. If this repair is too daunting you could always take it to your local bike shop to ask for advice, or, if you live in a cool town, there might be a "bike kitchen" around, which is usually a volunteer-run org that helps folks fix their own bikes and often has used parts bins for cheap replacements as well.

Best of luck!

Good news is that bars can be cheap and easily replaced.

 

It's exciting to see that there are actual plans from the new owners of the Lloyd Center.

 

This seems to not be based on safety at all and is probably Mapps and Williams spending money PBOT doesn't have because of complaints by business owners that are not based on data.

Exactly the kind of stupid decisions I expected Mapps to make when Teddy appointed him.

 

Sounds like Ryan and Gonzalez's effort to circumvent democracy is on ice for now.

 

Some great displays of carbrain in this article.

DeSeta also likened one of the groups advocating for the open street, Transportation Alternatives, to the National Rifle Association.

“TA is a multi-million-dollar not-for-profit lobbying organization. And you know what non-profit lobbyists could be? NRA is a not-for-profit, so, ya know, not-for-profit is a loosey-goosey term,” she said.

...

Like DeSeta, Herb Alter, who lives at 103rd Street and West End Avenue, objected, as many opponents typically do, to the "process" by which decisions were made when he was otherwise engaged. During the pandemic, he said, he and his ill wife decamped to their East Hampton second home — and the first he had heard about the open street was at the local dog run upon his return to the city last year.

Basically, a bunch of 70 year-old rich white people who live in a neighborhood where 73% of people do not own cars are trying to get rid of some intense traffic calming the city did during Covid because they lost 13 parking spaces.

It boggles the mind that there are people who live in Manhattan and choose to own cars without a dedicated place to keep them.
