Reply to comment by Grass8989 in New changes to 8th Ave create much wider pedestrian space, organize and calm a formerly chaotic place by Miser

Easy karma farming from the self-styled "urbanists" of r/nyc. Despite the fact that Miser is a hypocrite--constantly railing against car owners despite being one themselves.

I own a car and am also for better bike lanes and ped areas. It's not a black and white issue.

That isn't their position. Their position is that all car drivers in NYC are stupid, ignorant pricks and everything would be so much better if they ditched their cars and started biking everywhere. But not Miser though; it's okay for them to keep their car because they need it for... reasons. As if the people they routinely criticize don't have reasons of their own.

Very few things are more paranoid than a car owner in a thread about bike lanes on /r/nyc, that’s for sure.

Sure, and one of those things is a cyclist in r/nyc or r/nycbike.

Miser OP t1_ivvjn3y wrote

Yeah that's why we want to improve the city's walking and cycling. For that sweet reddit karma. You got us.

Hey, what does it tell you that these ideas are such a reliable "karma farm?" Why is it I never see you out there making content for reddit about how we should rip up bike lanes and sidewalks for more car lanes? I hear a lot of complaining from you and a handful of others about how we want to improve the city but we literally never hear your vision. What is it, cars from one building's wall to the other?

lol, you don’t propose any ideas either. You just bitch and moan using sanctimonious language to criticize car owners for holding back what you deem as progress. Much like all the other “urbanists” whose only idea is “cars = bad”. And the rest of r/NYC laps it up because it’s easy to criticize a class you don’t belong to.

I am in the car owning class and I can say micromobility is fantastic. Cities should be designed for pedestrians and suburbs for cars.

Also I see plenty of ideas being proposed in the micromobility sub

There’s always a half-dozen people who pop up to say “I own a car and I think bikes are great”, as if that somehow refutes anything. Newsflash: I own a car and I want better bike infrastructure as well.

The difference is I don’t look at cars and their owners like they’re some kind of diseased lepers who must be vilified and bled dry, if not exterminated altogether.

Someone asked about why this sub gets spammed with micromobilitynyc shit all the time. I responded. Of course, you people can’t handle getting called out. 😂

This is called coping bro lmao why are you embarrassing yourself like this

unndunn t1_ivwc6wk wrote

Ok, you’ve said “coping” like half a dozen times in this thread. Do you actually have anything substantive to say, or should I just block you right now and move on with my life?

breadman1010wins t1_ivwci5v wrote

Yeah drivers are coping, that’s not really debatable lmao man you’re dumb huh

breadman1010wins t1_ivw5ieg wrote

Why do you cry in every one? It’s just news guy. They changed 8th ave and it’s great, sorry no one cares about your opinion but you’ll have to find a better way to cope

I own a car and also support a more pedestrian and bike friendly city. I even support making it more difficult to own a car and support a tax on car owners even if it harms my own self interest.

It’s almost like you have have multiple views at once.

A tax on cars might not even hurt your own self-interest if you’re willing to pay a bit for less traffic (classic example of a pigouvian tax).
