Car-hater Ben Furnas has been appointed to Mamdani’s transition team for transportation, climate and infrastructure – and his agenda is a nightmare for the city’s drivers.

    Where can I enlist for this war on cars?

    Either way I read the article and I absolutely love everything they are saying Furnas is going to do.

    I want to highlight a thingy in the article, NYT mentions “What about the mobility of seniors?” like they are all allowed to drive or have someone to drive them around if not.

    Opening lines of the article:

    Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani could make driving in the Big Apple hell on wheels

    Oh fucking please. NYC has always been a shit-show to drive in. If they would improve the mass transit options, i would never choose to drive in.

    New York is going to get the same media coverage as Paris did. Paris got so much better in the last 15 years it’s absolutely crazy.

        Paris did the same thing Mamdani wants to do in NYC: Turn roads into green spaces and pedestrian paths/bikeways and make it much easier to get around without a car. While the people there were at first unsure about it and complained, they’ve been really happy with it now that it’s proven itself to be beneficial. The air is cleaner, and the streets are safer and far less congested. It’s totally transformed Paris.
