  I would love to hear someone propose that at a city council.

    Im sure that has happened, but the car lobby has the money and money is literally the only deciding factor in US politics.

      I love the idea of a car lobbyist sitting in on a fucking city council meeting.

      You guys are like gnomes the way you talk about America.

      No the car lobby doesn’t have to do anything, our own goddamn reactionaries will immediately squeal “They gonna make traffic WORSE!” despite the fact that I find our single lane freeways more efficient here because The option to choose what fucking lane they are in allows these people to make more mistakes and force more ‘brake waves’

        If you genuinely believe that there are no car and oil lobbyists in local politics, especially in a city as big and famous as NYC then you are completely out of touch with reality.

        That’s the direct result of car lobbying, it has changed the perception of a whole generation on how we should build cities
