Jay Cashman, a multi-million dollar donor to the campaign of Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, isn't pleased with the placement of a new bike lane next to his $19 million mansion. Cashman contends that "these new bike lanes will decrease safety, eliminate too many parking spaces, lead to more traffic congestion, and lead to slower response times for emergency vehicles."
Mayor Wu asserts that "bike lanes make roads safer. Crashes have declined by 51% on streets where bikers and drivers are separated by posts or other barriers. They also make it more convenient and affordable for those who can't afford to own a motor vehicle or a mansion to live and move about the city."
The Mayor went on to add "Sen. Bernie Sanders (S-Vt) has pointed out, no one needs to have a billion dollars or live in a mansion. Candidate for New York City mayor Zoran Mamdani has promised to abolish private property. If he wins I think other mayors will be considering whether to do the same in their cities. How many low-income families could live in the $19 million mansion now hogged by one rich Boston resident?"

ridiculous to worry about bike lanes: nobody uses them anyway ...
in Colorado, the “bike capital” of the USA, i’ve never seen a single bicycle on the multi-million dollar concrete bike lane in the middle of the Boulder-Denver turnpike, and i expect the same amount of bicycle traffic on the multi-million dollar concrete bike lane being built in the middle of the Diagonal Highway between boulder and Longmont, though the vehicle traffic jams are legion on both highways ...

Good post! The semi-satire is hard to tell reality from the ridiculous, perhaps because the left is so ridiculous. LOL
My heart is pumping pure pee for this guy.
Bike lanes for thee but not for me!!
If it saves just one life..... Suck it up, Bernie Bro’!
Imagine if he also had to look at and hear wind turbines out on the water.
Mr. Cashman’s neighborhood needs a bunch of homeless drug addicts, hookers, beat up RVs, and piles o’ human poop.
