Reply to comment by imlavanow in NYCers I see you pay for street parking while FedEx, UPS and other corporate empires get free parking all over our city. by jfo23chickens

It’s called paid parking all over the city, congestion pricing, increased bus service and bus lanes. This is what London did and the bus is a fast and easy way to get around the city (where subways don’t serve well)

Nyc is too car oriented. This is also why New Yorkers live in filth and rats — not willing to give up free parking for dumpsters

Get people to give up cars and a lot more improvements to the city are possible

I dream of a carless NYC. The worst is when I see people getting out of their cars, moving the "open streets" blockades, and drive down them any way. Seen in it in Williamsburg, on St. Marks, all over the place.. Certainly a city run by the cars and it fucking sucks

London isn’t even carless and Brits love cars — it’s just transit oriented enough to have good traffic and no trash on the street. Get enough traffic off the street so busses run on time
