NYC would lose 300,000 parking spots and $3B under this lefty City Council plan
nypost.com
NYC drivers would lose roughly 300,000 parking spots and taxpayers would be in the hole for $3 billion under a bill being fast-tracked by far-left City Council members.Mark JamesWake up New York let me tell you why this happened (mamdami), INDOCTRINATED COLLEGE TRANSPLANTS! These jerkoffs are the only ones that go out and vote! You lazy self absorbed New Yorkers just sit home and do not vote! By claiming "I do not like anybody so screw it" is a massive problem across the country! This is how things like this happens! Look at the numbers, less then 10% of New Yorkers vote in a city of nearly 9 million! Reep what you sow! GENTRIFICATION IS THE DOWNFALL OF NYC! And crooked politicians love it and cator to them for votes.

4 days agoG NA MarieThe cars aren’t the problem The pedestrians are THEY DONT LOOK They are very busy in their cell phones. I drive and see it every day all over. People just walk wo looking up wo looking at the lights etc Stop crucifying drivers. Start educating pedestrians!
