Man I can't wait to leave this city to the zealots. As if we needed another thread, from the usual suspect, cheering how the enlightened ones are going to dictate to the masses what we Neanderthals aren't bright and progressive enough to see for ourselves.
Normal people who just want to live their lives don't belong here anymore. Unless one has an agenda, NYC doesn't want you apparently.

I really don't understand you...
Do you realize that if more people take mass transit, bike, or walk we will have reduced congestion on our roads?
Dense, mixed use construction leads to this and should be encouraged. Bonuses like pedestrian plazas create a more pleasant urban experience and typically generate revenue.
We need to share our streets more efficiently. That means more bicycle, pedestrian and mass transit infrastructure. More bicycle lanes, SBS, plazas.
Like Singapore, London, and Stockholm we should also enact Congestion Pricing, more aggressive traffic calming, and toll the East River Bridges.
Peace! A mostly normal and un-dynamic country awaits you. One of the greatest aspects of the city is its ability to change and evolve- which is fueled by guess what? PEOPLE'S AGENDAS.

Or, we should just build more roads and bridges to keep traffic direct and local.
I should also point out I didn't drive tonight and took the train from W23rd to W125th. Got into station as an A was pulling away. Total transit time from station to station for what must be a 6 mile ride.... 55 minutes.

Some people never fully evolve. See above for evidence.
Luckily they're just a minority.

Build more roads in Manhattan?
Where exactly?
Please enlighten us.
Btw, That 5 mile trip would've been easily covered (even by an SUV-driving fatty) on a bike in under 30 mins.

Don't worry, eventually we'll all be gone. Your only problem then will be finding a tax base to afford the exorbitant spending NYC thrives on, especially once your ultra-liberal policies finally chase Wall Street away. Hey, at least you'll have bike lanes right?

No. You and your kind will be gone...
And quite honestly your gun & car loving 'values' won't be missed here one bit.
Now back on topic.
Why is it "ultra-liberal" be in favor of alternative transportation options?
Nykiddo addressed you 'on-topic' but all you seem to have is labels you like to attach to people.

No argument there, that's exactly why we're leaving. We don't find submitting to the Quinns and Weiners of the world something to be proud of. This city is for the rich and weirdos. Regular joes are fleeing, and rightfully so.
Oddly enough, the legal gun owners who are fleeing amount to less than 5% of the guns on NYC's streets. That SAFE Act is working out great for us huh? How many people were shot this weekend? 26? Lol. You guys are sure targeting the right people!
^ unable to discuss on-topic is all about them LIBERALS ruining the city.
Just leave already, nobody will care. Trust me.
