Median income of NYC car owners: $90K Median income of non-car owners: $45K The idea that bikers and pedestrians are the “privileged few” is one of the most absurd right-wing myths out there.

All we see is manufactured congestion, so a privileged few can ride their bikes in mostly empty bike lanes.

Um… It appears the Trump Administration just accidentally filed an internal memo in the congestion pricing lawsuit explaining why the MTA is going to win. You absolutely cannot make this stuff up. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

One of the great ironies of NYC is the rich and famous choose to sit in traffic while normal people whiz around for less than $3 a ride. 🤷‍♂️

Few things in the congestion pricing debate have been more absurd than the idea that cars—which cost hundreds of dollars a month just to park in NYC—are the transportation of the working class, while public transit is somehow the domain of elites.

Sean Duffy, Trump’s transportation secondary, slams congestion pricing as “classist”where roads are only accessible by the “elites” Mayor Adams stands next to him and doesn’t defend the program.

If you elect me to the City Council, I pledge that Vickie Paladino will not celebrate my record.

People love NYC and they just want NYC to love them back.

the lesson of mamdani's campaign is that rather than seeing the city as a crime-ridden hellscape, new york voters see it as a place they wish was cheaper so they can continue living here.

Me, over six feet tall, “looking both ways” before crossing the street… …there’s an SUV directly on the other side of this truck.

Have you tried looking both ways? I learned that in kindergarten and it seems to have worked.

If “supply and demand doesn’t apply to housing,” why did my landlord give me 3 months free during Covid, and then jack up the rent two years later because “there’s a waitlist”? Just a coincidence?

I am experienced enough to know that filing internal memos that state your key legal argument is likely to lose is generally not a good litigation strategy.

When a Republican City Council candidate (with over 10k votes) blames “Jewish neighborhoods” for an election result, it’s a reminder that many of the loudest voices claiming to fight antisemitism were never doing it out of genuine care for Jews — only politics.

NO. THE JEWS VOTED MAMDANI BY 55% in Lower Manhattan. Jews WAS the reason Globalize-the-Intifada Mamdani won the primary, and WAS the reason Globalize-the-intifada Mamdani won the mayoral. Jews WAS also the reason we got Hochul rather than Zeldin — they voted Zeldin 17%!!!!

In February—the dead of winter—there were 72,000 Citibike rides per day. On average, *every single* Citibike was used more than once a day. In February. Hard to overstate how successful Citibike has been.

Nice weather certainly still leaves these things collecting dust and wasting space.

- 3 million free parking spaces - $9 congestion fee v. $15+ LIRR tix - Decades to build a new subway station - Lawsuits every time there’s a new bus lane It’s not a coincidence that people choose to drive. It’s a policy choice.

The data is in. New Yorkers are driving MORE. This is bad (for air quality, congestion, me grinding my teeth at all the honking) What can we do about it? Our coverage of a new, eye-opening report from @OpenPlans hellgatenyc.com/nyc-is-losing-…
