Thank you. I am distressed by many things that he and his crazy City Council do. But when we had a problem intersection in my neighborhood, he took charge. There was a bit of overkill, like closing an entire lane of traffic on Broadway so drivers would realize they weren’t supposed to turn left, and that has created some backup and jams at a corner that leads to the West Side Highway and so is difficult anyway.
But his heart was in the right place, same as with this seemingly drastic move.
Having grown up in the Midwest, I usually share the FR distrust of government, but if there is a case where government should be heavy-handed at times to preserve public order, it’s a high-density borough like Manhattan. This doesn’t justify Robert Moses-like authoritarian planarachy or social justice lunacy.
By the way, I joined the Metropolitan Club, and hope to see you at the next debate watching this Thursday.
