Let me rewrite your headline for people since this one was apparently written for cars, which are unable to read @Gothamist:

Every reporter on the homelessness beat needs to ask politicians where they suggest people go once the encampments are gone. Demand a real answer until you get one. Make them explain their reasoning all the way to the end, out loud, on the record, and publish what they say.

Saw this one in person for the first time…Would love to see mid-block playgrounds around NYC like St. Marks Playground in Crown Heights (but without the flanked parking lots and driving/parking on the sidewalks)

Pete Buttigieg runs the agency that is literally the regulator of the railroads. He has the power to just ignore the protests of lobbyists & enact better safety rules. Him publicly begging rail CEOs to stop being mean is designed to pretend he can’t do anything, even tho he can.

“When he was running for mayor, he said, I am a son of CUNY. I will support CUNY. Now here he is, as the mayor of our city and he is cutting CUNY by over $100 million.”

Reminder that Rochester, NY plows snow-covered sidewalks -- and your city should too.

If @NYCMayor wants to Get Stuff Done, a perfect place to do it would be the Ocean Parkway bike lane, which remains cracked and dangerous five years after @NYCParks got funding: https://t.co/E1k0q9XXaP

55% of households in NYC do not own a car. In Manhattan it's 78%. This is not a radical niche. This is a majority.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Never forget, electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the planet.

[Regional Plan @RegionalPlan]

If NYPD will not enforce traffic violations, we should consider giving the responsibility to another agency. @NYC_DOT performed the role until 1996. https://t.co/ujl3n5g1ke

[Aaron Eisenberg @ae53]

Coming back into NYC and there’s so much wrong with the air train, why does it cost $8 on its own each way for anyone connecting to any form of public transit but is free if you park a car at JFK?

Why is it the only station in the city they didn’t upgrade to OMNY? (1/3)

[Extrapostage @extrapostage]

The Park Avenue medians were once linear parks with pedestrian walkways down the middle. They were shrunk to make new lanes for car traffic in 1927. Personal cars ruin cities. @StreetsPAC @NYC_SafeStreets @TransAlt

[Bike South Brooklyn! @BikeSouthBklyn]

.@SenSchumer says we need a bike lane on the Verrazzano. We agree

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

Scientists expect dire global warming of 1.4/1.5°C by 2026 heralding the final collapse of major ecosystems, extreme crop-wrecking weather, rapid mass extinction, and yet more warming with vicious feedbacks, and yet media ignore their calls to abolish perpetual economic growth.🧵

A 10-year-old girl was denied abortion services in Ohio.

10.

So no, I’m not ok with the Democratic Party’s response federally simply being “vote in November.”

Residents in my state can’t wait till November and 10-year-olds can’t vote.

Here’s what they should be doing.

New York could cut all mass transit fares by half for the next 6 months for $1 billion. We spent half that much on a gas tax holiday that didn’t create any relief. Let’s incentivize mass transit not cars!
