Hm, I don't know about that. I have two books on Robert Moses (one damning him, the other praising him, lol) and the guy was car friendly alright. He is responsible for the creation of many of the highways crisscrossing New York City. Maybe today there is a greater emphasis on public transportation and I think Manhattan is the least car friendly part of NYC. But to say what you have said I don't think holds true for NYC when Robert Moses was the major.
PS. I was surprised to learn that he was actually a native of New Haven, Connecticut. Until I started to read "The Power Broker" (the author didn't like Robert Moses, lol) a few years ago, I thought he was born and raised in NYC. Perhaps that he was native of the suburbs explains his friendliness towards cars.
Jane Jacobs and others led the charge against Moses' plan to build an expressway across lower Manhattan. Would've decimated East Village, Greenwich Village, etc. Here in Western New York, the Robert Moses Parkway in the Niagara Falls area was recently renamed the Niagara Scenic Parkway due to Moses' racism. His legacy is mixed at best. My childhood friend, now a lawyer, knows that I read books on an everyday basis, and he strongly recommended 'The Power Broker' to me, but I've yet to follow through on my assurance to him that I would in fact read it....
It is well documented. Look it up.
Diversity and GDP go hand in hand as long as diversity does not get out of hand.
Races and cultures can compliment or oppose your unique upbringing. Some blend well into diversity others don't.
The individual posting is in opposition to congestion Eurpoean and Asian assimilation. I am not offended. Fine by me.
Leaving the city for Texas might be the right move for this person. I can not pass judgement for the way this person feels
unless the actions of this person directly has an affect on me,my family and my property. All I can say is
Best wishes.........
Well done...
I hope the person moving to Texas has read your information.
I am under the impression that more rural areas of the country are
more lenient towards elderly drivers. Less population equating to less
accident related encounters .Not that all elderly are incompetent drivers
but under normal circumstances, aging and reaction time go hand in hand.
In addition, elderly vewhicle ownership can mean the difference between
life and death especially in remote regions of the country. I understand more
rigid driving requirements and enforcements in larger populations. Reduce the
chances of vehicle related death by elderly. Plus, with great access to public
transporatation, the elderly can continue independent living.
You can go **** yourself and move to one of those **** states. I am actually glad because NYC needs less people like you around that want to drive everywhere. We had enough of dealing with people like you.
I am glad someone jumped you and you got beaten like the subhuman you are. More car centric idiots like you deserve a good beatdown cause you all are pussys. You are lucky they didn't break your teeth.
Go move to your **** states, get bitten by a rattlesnack, and die. Hell has spots still open last I head for people like you.
Wow, you are a nut. Might want to think about how you’re representing this city you love so much.
3rd worlders are pro car? What 3rd worlders grew up driving cars? Numnutz.
The people that love cars in NYC come from the outer boroughs where their families have lived for 100+ years. Numnutz.
Yeah, lol. 3rd worlders are lucky if they can afford a motor scooter they can load the whole family on.
Or a decrepit bus full of goats and chickens.
That poster will LOVE Texas, lol.
