That's my favorite part. It was never about the environment or reducing traffic

They're already looking to use the congestion revenue to guarantee new financing. That doesn't sound like they expect it to keep drivers off the island

You said the quiet part out loud. We know this isn't about the environment

I understand the context of your comment but it’s kind of nutty to suggest de Blasio was only “posing as a progressive”

Have you ever tried to use (let alone go near) the public restroom they installed on the southeast corner of Madison Square Park?

Next time you're crossing the street and walking through total gridlock, try to count how many cars you see with license plates that don't start with a T

Then you'll realize this won't work and it's just a way to funnel more money into the blackhole that is the MTA's budget

I played a bunch down south during the pandemic and was excited to start playing back in NYC

Had a good time playing in the West Village (Houston St and 6th Ave) in 2021

This year though brought out the biggest losers. Folks would set up nets early in the morning, drop their bags and refuse to let anyone play despite their whole group eating and drinking around a folding table they set up. I own my own net and offered to use mine but they wouldn't move.

My girlfriend and I even saw the parks dept and police come once given there was a permit / usage dispute between the picklers, soccer players, roller hockey players and basketball players (they taped lines on the basketball court and played there too).

Really turned me off... I still play on a few dedicated courts in Brooklyn though

I didn’t ask and don’t care what you think

Eh, I stuck around in banking (for now). WLB in PE isn’t all it’s made out to be

Different animal, same beast
