*This is an extremely minor complaint and not meant as a shot at Zohran or Rama. This is not a big enough deal to have deserved a news article and is an example of it's bad on purpose so you'll click on it.

And so no one can find a spot to park, the MTA falls deeply in debt to subsidize car drivers, and traffic deaths remain high due to the surplus of cars and lack of daylighting. We must replace this socialism with Shoupism.
