The south street seaport flooded in Manhattan today. My old neighborhood. The city spent millions building a seawall for storm surges and sea level rise. BUT warmer climate means NYC is now a humid subtropical zone, with heavier rain. The flooding is from inside the wall.

To protest congestion pricing, Suburban drivers are driving into Manhattan and blocking traffic with their cars. These ๐ extreme activists ๐ plan to make streets so unsafe and gridlocked that NYC businesses lose money! ๐๐ Only car owners can shut NYC down and send a message!

NYC actually subsidizes turning its neighborhoods into a traffic sewer. If you, partner, and two kids want to take a bus or subway into Manhattan, you pay $23.20 plus $28 in LIRR tickets. But if you drive your SUV in from Long Island, you pay $0 today. Completely backwards!

How do you feel about the widespread anti-car protests in your town?

A 10-min bus ride takes 40 mins in Brooklyn, because of this car gridlock. If cars didnโt slow buses, we wouldnโt need bus lanes. But the slowness forces people to buy cars, which makes the traffic worse. A vicious cycle that needs to break. ๐๐

Washington St in DUMBO is world-famous for the Manhattan Bridge view. On nice days, it's packed with tens of thousands of tourists, strollers, & babies But without "Open Street" barricades, cars & Ubers drive right thru the crowd, inches from kids a major, unnecessary safety risk
