Jay Cashman, 72, poured millions into Mayor Michelle Wu's election in 2021, but became outraged when the new two-lane bike path was erected outside his $19 million mansion on Dartmouth Street last year, according to the Boston Globe.

It was just part of Wu's plans to build an an elaborate cycling network around the city, as she doubled the number of dedicated bike lanes in Boston since she took office to 15 miles.

Her administration had identified Dartmouth Street 'as a bike corridor project' because it provides direct access to the Charles River Esplanade, which city officials called a 'daily destination for residents, commuters and visitors alike.'

But Cashman has argued that these new bike lanes were hastily built and ignored critics' concerns, which ranged from safety risks, loss of parking spaces, more congested street traffic and slower response times for emergency vehicles.

“The first thing CCP puppet...

Proof? I ask because her father fought against the CCP before fleeing to Taiwan and eventually the USA. If anything, she is an Ivy League puppet.

“Hyper-pedantically (which is to resist the evolving meaning of words),”

Yeah, I guess. My father used to use the word ‘purchase’ to connote ‘grip’ or ‘footing’ in certain cases. It sounded strange to some people I suppose.

As for ‘evolving’ language, sometimes it’s a bad thing, so yes I’ll resist.

There’s way too much verbing of nouns and nouning of verbs, for example.
