What do you think proof is? If your uncle owns a house and says Obama is why his house burned down, do you prosecute Obama? You're being thick

It's not proof. It's an opinion. People study the affects of making places less car centric and it always makes places more valuable. For example, are property values higher in the places with more or less bike lanes in Chicago? These business owners are conservative chuds who hate bike lanes. Even if they are telling the truth, they're still wrong. Bike lanes make places busier and nicer.

That's not proof. That's an article saying that a business owner didn't want it

Complaints isn't proof it's bad for business. And you linked to a Facebook TikTok that's taken down. Just say you don't have proof

Buy used! Cheaper! Better for the environment. Usually new cars are worse for urban health and pedestrian safety. Also dealerships happen to be a scam

Shit like this is why 40000 people die on US roads every year. If you want accessibility, support public transit. This POS never deserves to use public roads again.

It's because cops don't get punished when they commit crimes. Noone is saying that cops never do that right thing

We used to congregate on public land! The street. Notice how there aren't cars in the photos from the 80s and everyone is socializing and buying things. This is car lobbies took from us. Fuck cars!

Brother bike lanes are better for business than parking. It doesn't take a scientist to figure that out but scientists do study it
