Mamdani is living rent free in those dipshits head. What really hurts them is that its working.
That was a really hard to parse title
Yeah that title was godawful
It was written for the people who get their news from Trump’s social media posts, so not surprising it reads in that style, at least to me.
Please consider sharing achievements of Seattle mayor Katie Wilson rather than sharing the negativity and hateful propaganda of her critics.
Anytime you share a thing you hate online, you are doing free marketing for them.
You could instead ignore it and counterbalance with hope, optimism and successes.
While I agree with you in general, there wasn’t a single thing in that headline I consider negative. As far as I’m concerned, it was all complimentary.
(I know that was far from the author’s intentions, but that is genuinely what I think of it.)
I absolutely love this strategy and am 100% on board.
They takin’ our lane, fuckin up everything
why don’t to you take the bus?
ain’t nobody take no busses, deys to slow.
And crackheads
Crackheads never worried me, catching a cold/flu on the light rail was pretty shitty though.
You’ve never been attacked by crackheads then
Nope, and never seen anyone attached by them either. Worked in Baltimore for 30 years. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but it’s pretty rare.
Only crackheads take the bus…. And mayors!!
Daily Hate Mail
Daily Heil Fail
“This doctor who has never had measles is vaccinating people!!1!”
Feels like one of those “bad now, better later” changes—depends if it actually improves transit.
Bus lanes have higher throughput of commuters than car lanes.
If a mayor created a private lane only they could use between their house and work, that would be a crazy abuse of power. Or say, put in stop signs / lights right at their subdivision so traffic was more convenient for them in particular.
This mayor sped up the commute for thousands of people at a minimal impact to a significantly smaller number.
Bus lanes have higher throughput of commuters than car lanes.
To play devil’s advocate…
Bus lanes having higher throughput doesn’t imply that it’s always the right choice to replace car lanes with bus lanes.
If the road was a major bottleneck for cars and this change made it even narrower, it could hurt throughput for both cars and buses!
Cars should be illegal
There’s no devil advocate on that though. It’ll even clear up the congested area for emergency vehicles and keep pedestrians on that street safer. Either way it’s adding a bus lane, not restricting any car access.
How would it reduce throughput for busses?
Say that street A feeds into street B. Street A flows freely and is necessary for a different bus route. Street B is a bottleneck, both cars and buses pass through slowly.
If you remove a car lane from street B, the cars might back up into street A and impede both cars and buses that previously flowed freely through street A.
It’s a contrived example, but honestly I can think of a few places like this near me.
I realize now I shouldn’t have broached this topic in fuckcars 😂
I mean, all discussion is welcome. City planning is a complex topic.
Car owners: “We can’t use that one lane now if it’s reserved for buses! This is bad! We want to use that lane!”
Random passers-by: “Well, if you want to use that lane so badly, why don’t you use a bus, then?”
Car owners: “We can’t! B-b-b-because…!” 😡I’m trying so hard to read this title lol
I’m also enjoying that “mamdani” is the new “omg libarels”
Mayor: based af Daily mail: biased af
wow so many [fill in the blank] isms in one sentence
“Daily Mail is pure garbage.”
Correct.
I assume she had this framed and mounted on her wall, I would.
Oh no, I see it.
Why do some people never understand that viable alternatives to cars make life better for drivers too.
Oh right, it’s because they don’t want to understand.
