Reply to comment by [deleted] in NYC restaurant owners in limbo as City Council stalls on permanent outdoor dining by psychothumbs

I’d hardly call the parking free, most restaurants are on commercial strips which usually are metered blocks. With the way I see a lot of these sheds in my neighborhood I’d rather a parked car over the decrepit rat nests that they’ve become.

I agree but with the exception that all residential streets are metered except for the permit holders. One permit per home / apartment.

Says who? Many households around me have multiple cars and I still find parking no problem. If a permit isn’t required make it so the the permit can be turned in to the city for a income or property tax rebate.

I don’t agree with this anti car lunacy you’re babbling on about.

Sorry but “no one” in this case is a small group of terminally online people that have a weird crusade over cars.

You do realize car owners are in the minority in this city right? Literally everyone is tired of the noise, light, constant honking, nearly dying to some lunatic with no insurance who has to cut 2 seconds off their commute.

Pretty logical to want that blight out of the city if you ask me.

You make it sound like the minority is tiny while actually 45% of all NYC households in NYC own a car.. Who is this “everyone” you’re talking about?

Last time I checked, 55 was bigger than 45, Just saying

55% is not “everyone”.

Pretty much is. Besides, if you want to drive your big poluting SUV there is a whole entire rest of the country you are more than welcome to do it in.
