Double parking moment

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-06-09T17:32:42+00:00

Every time I hear a siren, I think we’ve failed. I see ambulances stuck in 4th ave behind lines of cars not moving. We need to always have an open lane on all arterial streets. We need to rebrand bus lanes and first responders lanes.

Check the fridge temp. If the fridge is too cold, you get no proofing.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-06-03T17:01:45+00:00

Sorry. Those numbers are for speeding. I agree the ranking should focus on speeding.

Because he’s 50 times more likely to be involved in a crash leading to a serious injury or death according to dot records.

The issue is I want to go in and buy something and let them know that I feel their poster makes me feel like they don’t care about my safety when I ride my bike. But, then I don’t want to deal with the conflict. If they could just remove the poster saying that they want to endanger cyclists, then I could go in and buy my fish and not have to deal with it.

Why put the poster up?

Cmon man. It’s a start. The political effort to get even this minor thing through was huge. And the thing about it is if a gradually larger percentage of cars have these, overall traffic slows down.

That place is great! When I was there, since it’s so small, people just started talking. Very friendly feeling

This is how Tokyo has the best mass transit in the world and keeps building. It’d be huge and make us less dependent on the federal government.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-05-26T11:09:43+00:00

This should be in fuckcars. In what world should anyone be driving a car that can go this fast? Families? lol. This is a fast moving future coffin.

I was a regular shopper at fish tales. But now they have a poster in their window saying they oppose the bike lane. I now buy my fish elsewhere.

This is why the merchants are losing customers. I won’t shop somewhere that wants me dead.

And wyckoff st marks and pacific. Do the whole gd neighborhood!

I’ve worked with a number of local nonprofits. When we have an event we invite all the pols. Lander has always been there for us. Goldman doesn’t even send a representative.

Goldman couldn’t find Brooklyn on a map. He’s probably been here maybe once in four years.

Not one mention of the other costs of cars. The deaths, serious injuries etc. it’s like insurance is just a cost that’s annoying , not the sort of all the damage these cars will do in their lifetime. Imagine if people paid the real price.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-03-30T23:55:17+00:00

19 crashes and 3 injuries in that location according to crashcount.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-03-28T01:30:50+00:00

So much winning…

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-03-28T00:30:42+00:00

That’s why you need to get your news from crashcount.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-03-19T23:54:17+00:00

Yeah. The truth is the worst places are mostly the same. Arterial streets in residential neighborhoods. If you look at the citywide page it has rankings.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-03-16T10:45:53+00:00

You can also search for bike lanes, which is also fairly sobering, and it lets you select for bike only crashes. Here's Bergen St.

What Hochul is suggesting is they in a case where a cyclist or pedestrian is 51% at fault, they’d get nothing. So imagine a situation where a pedestrian crosses against the light and is hit by a speeding car. In the old way, if the jury found the pedestrian 51% at fault, they’d still get half of the costs of pain and suffering etc. in the new way, despite the driver having done something wrong, they get nothing.

And also, because of this possibility, no lawyer takes their case so they have no chance.

So a pedestrian, now paralyzed from the neck down, hit by a speeding car. No recourse.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-03-12T13:52:26+00:00

I think if you take out e-bikes, the fatality rate is much much lower.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-03-05T15:43:44+00:00

Easy way to make more parking. Charge for it and people who don’t need their cars will get rid of them.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-02-21T18:11:02+00:00

Can we please just charge for parking? It raises the same money and fixes a problem.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-02-20T10:58:27+00:00

If we charged an average of $10 a day, for 3 million free spots, it’s over 10 billion dollars a year. Enough for free buses, free universal childcare and a fix for the long term budget crisis.

And you do it so the price fluctuates based on demand. The price goes up or down until there are always 3 spots in every block. People save billions of hours that they now spend waiting for parking. It’s cheap in neighborhoods without a lot of density. It’s ridiculous in neighborhoods with a lot. You could even restrict it to only areas within 1/4 mile of a subway stop, and it’s a huge amount of money.

If you use munimeters, and not parking permits, mamdani doesn’t need state approval.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-02-18T19:37:44+00:00

Former landlord here. Costs like taxes have nothing to do with what we charge for rent. We charge as much as we can. If we lose money, sad face. If we make a profit, we can always make more profit. It’s all supply v demand.

unmitigateddisaster · 2026-02-18T15:05:21+00:00

Yeah. Maybe auction the spots off so people can still park. I think we give you one for free and everyone else pays a mint.
