everyone knows that drivers in a car-dependent state like ours
Like Ours??
Like every fucking state, and New York is one of the very few that someone may get by without a car if they live by the city, hell for years even having a car was a pain in the ass for me
At least they are waking up to errors of the system. Its a lot harder to rebuild a transport network than it is to make legislation and changes like this. Ultimately we need to be doing both but this is something that could make streets safer without a shovel hitting the ground.
Yeah I didn't own a car until I was 35 because before then I lived in NYC... IMO it's much harder to own a car there than it is to be car-free. To be fair though this guy is from Staten Island, the one borough that wants more than anything to be a forgotten strip mall suburb.
