Citibike is almost non-existent around 33rd. Very rarely can I get a bike

I'm at Rock Center and I find 33rd faster as well, but it's nice to have the option for if one or the other PATH isn't running.

People outside of DT have some of the lowest car ownership rates in the country.

Thanks, I did not know that. FWIW, my meaningless primary vote went to Sanders.

I'll take the D party treatment of Sanders (who is not a D) over the R party treatment of Cheney or Pence.

Listen, it's shit all the way down on both sides, but there is not real equivalence between the parties at the moment, corruption, nepotism, integrity of the system. There's no area where the shittiness of Ds is in the same universe as the current shittiness of the Rs.

School board is impossible to vote for, and an impossible job (sure let's have 9 unpaid people in charge of a $1b budget and rotate them every couple of years based on very little information). Schools should probably just be run by mayors, or the state

I mean. I despise Menendez and wish neither of them were running, but the idea that Ds are somehow running worse or more problematic candidates than Rs is.. well, let's just say that picking quality people does not seem a priority.

Sure, but it is not Wonder Bagel's fault that no one else has opened a better place in JC. They are, fine.

The essential problem we face is that if we kick out the elected because of this, we get Republicans and they are sure as fuck not going to make mass transit better.

I agree, no reason to drive into JC from that direction if you're just catching a train anyway.

It's just a style/story preference one way or another. Books are trying to accomplish different things, some are wish fulfillment, some explore loss, and all sorts of things in between.

I do get taken out of the story when I know that the characters are all going to be fine in the end, but I also know lots of people want that and it can be a nice escape from a world where that is definitely not the case.

What do you suggest he should be doing? It's not his call, he can't wave a magic wand and stop it.

He will be part of the inevitable lawsuits.

Fulop is 100% against it.

Yup, lots of raccoons as well. They are also super cute, really smart and have thumbs so they pretty much get in wherever they like. They are mostly out in the early to mid evening.

Also mostly chill, but if you see one acting strange or aggressive or out during the day, report that and stay away because it might have rabies.

Ha. Skunks are all over the place around here, but they are also pretty docile and friendly, just don't startle one or try to chase them away.

It's all so fucking obvious. Traffic is caused by freeways having more capacity than can reasonably exit/enter from local roads. Adding more freeway does fuckall to fix this.

There is no fix for this other than alternatives to cars because they take up so much damn space.

Basically, in this area, don't get sprayed by a skunk and don't touch poison ivy. Neither are really going to do you much damage, but they will ruin your week. Other than that, do tick checks if you've been out in the woods or a grassy area because the little bastards can give you lyme disease.

Oh, and don't pet the rats.

We have rattlesnakes and black widow spiders, but you are not going to see a rattlesnake in JC (and honestly, other than rock climbers, I don't know anyone who has had an issue).

You could theoretically find a black widow, but they are pretty obvious and also uncommon.

Rs are out here screaming about Jews getting out of the country and towing the line before is too late, and making kids cry over colorful murals they painted in support of friends and Ds are going to lose over renaming a street.

Maybe, just maybe, that does not signify a problem with liberals.

Boss Hague Way.

Some of the new residential buildings in the area will help.

This would likely be awful, narrower sidewalks, probably less parking, wires everywhere, more difficult trash pickup and a completely overloaded electrical grid.

On the plus side, maybe if they lined all the streets with chargers, they could move the grid underground.

Can't wait until even more of our public space is given over to cars to facilitate charging them all.

I hope they figure out a better fast charging solution before all of our sidewalks are lined with charging stations.
