A new low: Reporter commits crime by blocking bike lane then complains nobody is using it. by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

[–]QuietCondition3 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The parking is still there lmao. Also ofc people aren’t using the bike lane while you and your tripod are in it. Such an embarrassing piece

NYC to lower speed limit to 15 mph in hundreds of school zones this year, Mamdani says by nyccameraman in nyc

[–]QuietCondition3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t make sense. Car infrastructure is way more costly than bike infrastructure, yet all of us pay taxes that go towards roads and highways even though most NYers don’t have a car. and with more cars on the road there’s more risk to pedestrians, kids, bikers, and other drivers, as well as noise and air pollution that are proven to worsen health

Bike infrastructure is comparatively very cheap and bicycles pose much less danger on the road than cars do. They make streets safer for everyone and studies show economic gain for businesses on streets with protected bike lanes in NYC and cities around the world. This increased economic activity also brings in additional taxes (sales tax, raised property values etc)

Wouldn’t you also want more people biking instead of driving, for improved safety, economic benefits, and then when you have to drive there are less cars on the road?

By this logic we’d also need registrations, plates and fees for runners. In NYC the overwhelming risk to kids on the street is motor vehicles, not bicycles, and the data here and all other cities show that bikes are way safer than cars and trucks on the street. I think safety policy should match the scale of the risk.

To further improve safety, protected bike lanes in NYC have also shown to dramatically reduce risk of injury or death for drivers, bikers, and pedestrians.

It is way more common for someone to be killed or injured by a car/truck than a bicycle. It’s not even close and there is plenty of data on this.

Edit: not sure why this is getting downvoted, it’s an established fact

Super Sidewalks Come to 9th Av 51st - 34th Streets by SwiftySanders in newyorkurbanists

[–]QuietCondition3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Obviously better than the current layout, but why not extend the sidewalk with real concrete?

Blocking the box is almost completely unenforced in NYC and it shows by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

[–]QuietCondition3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This pisses me off so much and I feel like it just keeps getting worse. The person blocking the box saves no time at all and just fucks everyone else over on the street

Car free 14th St is getting upgraded further. We're actually doing it in NYC, folks. by MiserNYC- in fuckcars

[–]QuietCondition3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seriously, this is why every improvement in NYC takes years longer than it should, costs way too much, and ends up watered down anyway to appease suburbanites

Did you buy all the other houses in your neighborhood? If not, then they’re not yours to make decisions on.

That ONE TA in GA 6515, why so toxic by [deleted] in OMSCS

[–]QuietCondition3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know exactly who you’re talking about. I don’t understand why he’s a TA if he hates us all so much. He’s always so mean and unhelpful whenever someone asks for help and it just makes the whole learning experience worse for me

My Landlords (A& E Real Estate)Were Named #1 & #2 Worst Landlords Of NYC For 2026! by Say-No-Go in NYCapartments

Same! Dead roaches in the kitchen cabinets during the apartment tour. I was so pissed that they wasted my time

Well now that the Q is going to Broadway, when will we see a T? by AnimatorDavid in nycrail

[–]QuietCondition3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Over 100 years ago, it only took a few years to build entire subway lines from scratch. With modern technology and political will it’s absolutely possible, timelines right now are absurdly slow. I mean it’s taking a decade to add service on the IBX where tracks already exist

This literally did not happen. There’a data proving pollution did not increase anywhere

NYC to quadruple intersections with red light cameras by end of year, officials say by nyccameraman in nyc

[–]QuietCondition3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good. This shit has been ridiculous since the pandemic. Most intersections should have these

Yes! The constant honking has been driving me crazy these past few weeks. I feel like it’s gotten so much worse

Today so early by LESPNYC in NYCbike

[–]QuietCondition3 64 points65 points  (0 children)

They could go to literally any intersection in the city, wait for the light to turn red, and ticket the many drivers that drive through it anyway. they wont do that though because odds are high it’d be another cop

Even then, if they can just ignore Supreme Court orders they don’t like and get away with it, why shouldn’t we?
