Everday millions of people go through hell trying to get to work. And how many use those bike lanes? NOBODY maybe 2 or 3 people every hour which includes bike messengers and food delivery guys. Meanwhile on the other half of the street, trucks, taxis, buses, cars are all crammed together bumper to bumper moving 2 MPH for miles on end. It’s so freakin’ absurd it’s not funny.
Everyday ambulances, firetrucks, cops go through hell on earth trying to respond to emergencies. Once I saw an ambulance stuck on Broadway for FORTY FIVE minutes in ONE spot unable to move! And if their patient died guess who the Despot blames? The ambulance drivers which he has done twice already! NOBODY wanted these bike lanes, there were even protests held, but like what I said before: We live under a Depotism and what the Despot wants the Despot gets.
I have a question, if you get a decent mayor, can any of this be undone? I mean it sort of sounds like what's being done to the country, and no one is quite sure how much of that can be undone...
If you live in Manhattan, take heart - my favorite favorite city - and almost worth the hassle!
Yes it’s a great city but just don’t live here or try to run a small business because the Despot will make it hell on earth for you. Remember when the OWS protestors where camped out near Wall street and the Despot was allowing them to trash small mom and pop stores around the area withoout any of them getting arrested? That’s what the Despot thinks of the small business owner. And forget about opening a business dealing with food. The Despot now demands letter ratings be placed in the windows depending on how much you pay off the “health inspector”. Pay enough and you get a letter A in your window meaning the food is quality. Pay too little and you get a C which means your food is sh*t which makes customers stay away. In other words he once again copies Nazi Germany with the Star of David in windows of Jews only he uses letters if you do not kowtow to the Despot. He does all this because he wants to control what eople eat which is why there are less and less food places and more and more high end fashion stores taking it’s place. And to answer your question if all of this can be undone, I doubt it especially being that he has declared himself Despot for life.
