Cars don't fit in FiDi, and they're not needed:
"Almost all subway lines and the PATH trains from New Jersey converge on the neighborhood, and 78 percent of households in the City Council district don’t own a car, while 85 percent get to work on foot or on transit"
"Almost all subway lines and the PATH trains from New Jersey converge on the neighborhood, and 78 percent of households in the City Council district don’t own a car, while 85 percent get to work on foot or on transit"
Planners have floated projects to curb motor vehicles from the Financial District's narrow roads for at least half a century, but a lack of city leadership and pushback from big businesses have stymied the dream for an area that continues to favor a minority of drivers.
'No Better Place': Mamdani Must Pedestrianize Financial District - Streetsblog New York City
Residents of Lower Manhattan have been demanding pedestrianized streets for decades, but the city and Big Business keep thwarting them. Sounds like a job for Mayor Mamdani.

When Mayor-elect Mamdani takes office on January 1, he will control over 6,300 miles of streets throughout the five boroughs.
Reducing car dependence is one of the best ways to reduce costs for New Yorkers. Owning a car costs nearly $9,000 annually, while taking transit costs just $1,500.

These hoodies are sewn using a double needle coverstitch for durability, but the underarm and side seams are sewn using a flatlock seam. This produces a smoother, flatter seam, removing the bump that can rub against the body.
Paul at IG toofbush explains the flatlock seam below.

Reading Life After Cars. This culture shock of an US family relocating to Amsterdam will stick with me:
After signing an apartment lease, the landlord gave keys to each member but their 6-year-old. "I'm sorry, but I can have another made for you."
The parent replied, "A key for a 6-year-old?!?"

Should be noted that all of these people paid to be at an event for a book about making our streets happier and safer (and our world more livable) and this easily outnumbers by a multiple any free event or rally someone had to spew pro-car anti-bike talking points
What an amazing night. I can’t believe we sold out The Bell House! So grateful for all of our listeners and friends who came out to support us tonight. Being around such awesome people fills me with hope.
