Bloomberg also said that the city would install curbside electric vehicle chargers that would let drivers recharge in 30 minutes and that his administration would work with the City Council to change the city's building code so that up to 20 percent of new public parking spaces are wired for electric cars, with the goal of creating 10,000 spaces for electric cars over the next seven years.
Are there really that many people driving electric cars? If not now, will there be?
Yea and I read the other day to park in NYC is 6 bucks.
They make it sound like it’s for free but!
When is he going to have his offical coronation?
Who is crazy enough to savor hot coffee in a Styrofoam cup? You have to be brain dead or maybe this how you got this way. Doing it every day.
Will New Yorkers ever ban Bloomberg?
Is there any way to ban short, egomaniacal Napoleonic-complex-ridden dictators from holding political office?
The man is insane with his power. Until he is out of power, his edicts will continue to erode NY’s freedoms for no other reason than his personal whim/belief system.
Another decree from the despot in the despotic state of New York city. Styrofoam and everything else is banned except bicycle riding which he promotes relentlessly despite more and more people being killed every day riding them. “Yes boys and girls, trans-fats, smoking, styrofoam, donating food to the homeless, the constitution is all evil evil evil, but riding a bike around speeding multi-ton hunks of metal like taxis and trucks is cool cool cool.
What the heck they will be looking for a Leader Dictator soon, let's just let him have a whole country.....
Ban it? NO! Reformulate it so it breaks down in a few years? Yes. Use as little as possible until then? Yes. But by choice, not by government fiat.
When I saw the headline my first impulse was to check if this was satire....
wow.

There are viable cellulose substitutes almost as good that are environmentally safe. Improve and use them.
A whole platoon of psychiatrists could spend the rest of their lives analyzing this guy’s control fetish.
I like to do opposition research by reading The N.Y. Crimes ;) The amusing part would be the reader comment, below the articles. For their take on this news, not only did 80% agree with the ban, a large number praised Doomberg as some type of deity. There really are two Americas.
These are MY choices. The pro-abortion crowd is actually ANTI-CHOICE. Liberals are only pro-choice when they choose to murder babies.
Just another thing this guy is an expert on.
I remember conservatives were excited when a “republican” was elected mayor of New York.
If styrofoam never degrades, it is a form of carbon sequestration. You should get tradable carbon credits for producing it.
What amazes me is how some people absolutely love having a Nanny at the helm, guiding their every step in life. Is Doomberg’s next step to ban private real estate and demand New Yorkers move into apartment dwellings?
Bloomberg, Emanuel, et al continually remind me why I despise big cities.
“Bloomberg also said that the city would install curbside electric vehicle chargers that would let drivers recharge in 30 minutes and that his administration would work with the City Council to change the city’s building code so that up to 20 percent of new public parking spaces are wired for electric cars, with the goal of creating 10,000 spaces for electric cars over the next seven years. “
Excellent. Spend more millions of dollars on something totally useless.
