@B840D0o@BrooklynBus Your safety is your primary responsibility. Do u think ppl walked out in front of galloping horses in the days before cars? Do u walk into bee swarms?
@jmp_nyc@OffRampNYC@DannyInTransit There's never anything good enough for the anti car folks short of having none at all. I understand u dislike them, and thats ur right as a citizen. I don't understand the need to impose that on everyone else. NYC isn't monolithic. Ppl have different needs/preferences etc
@OffRampNYC@jmp_nyc@DannyInTransit The BQE is a vital commercial artery that keeps traffic on the outskirts. It will not be torn down, you gotta find yourself another wer dream. And yet again, there's still no answer to how all that freight would move in the 20+yrs these grand reimaginings would take
@bklnfin3st@ridestheq46@DannyInTransit Bottom line is the BQE is staying. Also, none of the fantastical dream of new tunnels/freight network is gonna happen. And none of u guys still can't account for how goods would move in the 25yrs this shit would take to reach fruition
@bklnfin3st@ExamineBaseball@OpenPlans@TransAlt The community decided nothing π running 24hr transit is expensive, why shouldn't those who use it pay the cost? U want ppl to pay for what they use right? Or is that rhetoric just for drivers π€?
@bklnfin3st@ridestheq46@DannyInTransit If there was some way to get rid of the BQE which is now the urbanist wet dream du jour, I'm the mayor would have done it. The fact that he's not, should tell u alot about the feasibility of your wish. Politicians love grandstanding and accolades
@ridestheq46@bklnfin3st@DannyInTransit If it was all so nice and easy it would have been done in the almost 50yrs Moses has been dead. I'm sure Mamdani would've loved to get his anti car supporters weak in the knees by tearing it down. Its simply not feasible, and still doesn't address moving freight in the interim
@TheKvetcher@DannyInTransit This is all about sticking it to Big Bad πΊ Robert Moses π they all parrot the same shit about getting rid of the BQE but then start dancing around in vagueries when asked specifically how they'd manage freight. They have no viable solution. Just anti π bumper sticker bullshit
@jmp_nyc@Peter1987Fallow@Southfive@nicolegelinas In all that time, None of the anti car gurus have come up with something viable. All this wishful thinking is just about getting back at big bad wolf Robert Moses π he wasn't a king btw he worked for the govt and executed their goals. The BQE isn't going anywhere, let it go
@jmp_nyc@DannyInTransit We can't beam stuff like star trek. If u get to live out your wet dream and tear it down, how do u move the freight? None of the anti car soliloquies has presented an answer. And no, a magical tunnel that would take decades to build is not a solution.
@Ew4214322950043@DannyInTransit Let's see @DannyInTransit ride a cargo bike from the Verrazano to Nassau County π π show us non-believers how it's done. Actually, let's see if u could even get to Laguardia. Utterly ridiculous. The car hatred is making u loopy
@rmusimg@DannyInTransit still waiting for the way to move freight NOW. All the anti car gibberish being spewed has yet to articulate a solution for that problem. u wanna tear down the BQE tomorrow but have no viable options. We can't beam shit like star trek and whatever magic tunnel will take decades
@BeckyBravo@DandyGeorgism@enforcelawsNYC Hating cars is these folks whole personality. They've convinced themselves that NYers hate cars, that they speak for the masses and that NYC would resemble the French countryside if not for the big bad wolf Robert Moses. They live in the twitter/reddit anti car echo chamber
