*a 10 minute ride to the grocery being turned into a 35 minute bumper to bumper 10 mph ordeal (NOT KIDDING!)
*shortened parking meter times from 15 to 12 minutes
*returning home to find no parking and therefore having to circle the block, sometimes multiple blocks, to find a space or waiting up to 30 minutes for a space to be vacated
*people parking so as to take up 2 spaces
*the Chinese buying up every property for sale and then parking long vans (a lot of them drive commuter vans for a living) on the street which take up 2 spaces, etc.
Impossible and unbelievably stressful. One of the big reasons I moved out of NYC. The stupidity of DumblASSio, the City Council collection of loons and the satanic governor Cuomo were the other reasons. I knew there had to be life beyond the pale imitation it had become under this tyrannical and insane triumvirate. I moved quite literally to save my life.
Wow. I don’t blame you in the least. I’ve always wanted to visit New York City, because I’ve only been there for layovers on airplane trips. I believe I’ll take the Subway or whatever and just walk around by foot. LOL they must have public transportation coming out of the airport. They certainly do in Chicago.
Funny story: I went to the University of Chicago and there was a bike path by the river there excuse me by the lake. And I knew there was a bike path up north. So I assumed it would continue all the way around.
It did not.
It stopped at the ghetto. As I was cycling along I suddenly had to turn into the middle of the ghetto, and I passed these guys like five of them, sitting on the front porch, shower caps on, drinking Colt 45s, and one of them said, as I cycled by, “hey snow!”
I have never cycled that fast in my room life. But then what was I thinking: 1. I wasn’t drunk, 2. I was younger and healthier than those guys, and 3. I had wheels whereas they just had their drunken feet. L0L
