Those people aren’t on the left, they’re in the center.

I mean, policing for profit is basically the entire basis of policing in the US. Sounds like Canada wants in on that sweet, sweet, civil asset forfeiture money. You won’t find anyone actually on the left applauding cops.
Which claims in particular do you dispute and what are your sources?
Most of the contributors to this site don’t live in NYC, so it seems like a really silly criticism actually. Just admit you’re piling on with all the other whiners lately because it makes you feel good. And then move on. There is no shortage of car content on the web. I’m sure you can find what you’re looking for.
I both don’t like driving in city centers, avoiding it at all costs, and think no one else should be driving through them either. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to call the police because you are criminally stupid.
I think about this weekly as a guy who always used to upgrade my vehicle’s sound system. It sucks.
It’s both, obviously.
Do you think your whining is going to get Jalopnik to move its headquarters or whatever? I don’t mind constructive criticism. That’s not what you’re doing.
The whining must stop. If you don’t like the content, don’t read it.
I mean, I don’t think you can flip the switch overnight. Most places that have gone car-free have done it over time and with significant lead time to allow for things to adjust to meet the impending new reality. You can a lot of the benefit with relatively little pain by simply making it illegal to drive THROUGH the…
So banning cars in the center would have no impact on your scenario and you’ve been hit by cars twice but you’re actually afraid of the things that haven’t hit you? Sounds like you’ve got yourself a pretty coherent argument going here!
Nah, I like Jalopnik. It’s all y’all complainers that should take a hike finally instead of whining in the comments of every article that offends your fee-fees.
They literally do this all over Europe. It’s not rocket surgery.
What facts do you dispute?
Max tow on my 2018 Expedition is 9300 lbs. It was 11k for the truck above. Not sure there’s a huge market for people who will desperately miss that ~1700 lbs of towing capacity. Besides which, the truck above has a payload of 1500 lbs and the new Expeditions are at over 1700 lbs. All filled up as in your example and…
It’s an article about cars. What makes no sense is sitting alone in your 4000 lbs steel, sound-isolated living room in bumper to bumper traffic spewing toxic fumes and endangering anyone not encased in steel so that you can avoid the terrible inhumanity of perhaps walking, biking or taking public transport. I love…
This is a common misconception. They were not built for walkers and bicycle riders. Some of them have made a conscious decision to change that over the last 50 years.
She’s not talking about the suburbs.
E-bike. Also, banning cars in the CENTER of the city wouldn’t have precluded you from driving, it just would have taken longer.
There won’t be unexpected traffic hitting delivery trucks in the middle of the night because personal vehicles won’t be there.
