Look what happens when you get the cars out!

Union Sq/Broadway yesterday. Lots of peds & #bikenyc - many going against their signals - but witness the innate negotiation ballet that occurs when dangerous vehicles aren't around.

Congestion Pricing lesson: People buy things, not cars. NYC thrives!

Just an FYI when talking about city/town budgets:
This is a Venn diagram illustrating the trade-offs between three desires: "I Want Stable Services," "I Want Low Density," and "I Want Low Taxes." Each overlapping section describes the implications of combining those desires: Stable Services + Low Density: Leads to high taxes. Stable Services + Low Taxes: Requires more density. Low Density + Low Taxes: Results in service cuts. The center of the diagram, where all three desires overlap, is labeled "Does Not Exist," highlighting that achieving all three simultaneously is unrealistic.
