In recent and not-so-recent years, every city administration has aggressively rolled out car lanes all across the city, snatching away space from pedestrians and cyclists and handing them over to drivers. A new report by Captain Obvious, however, found that the lanes in Manhattan aren’t living up to hopes – with motorists illegally speeding and parked in them, pedestrians and cyclists snarled in them, and traffic causing excessive air and noise pollution in them.
Should we pull the plug on Manhattan car lanes?

These ads reveal Microsoft’s deepest fear: the PC is no longer the center of the software universe. Phones are. AppDev for iOS and Android is where the world is going to (if not already there). Microsoft doesn’t want you to go. Too late.

Which brings me to making a living on the farm. It’s always a debate. Is it making a living if you don’t have money to treat cats humanely? Because most farmers won’t spend the money to spay cats.

If you want to have kids before you’re 35—when your biological clock explodes—then you need to start when you’re 30, allowing for one miscarriage, which is more probable than most young people think. If you need to start having kids when you’re 30, you probably need to meet the guy you’re going to marry by the time you’re 27, so you can date for a year, get married, and live together for a year before kids.

First of all, these people aren’t “New Yorkers,” These are spoiled, post-college, suburban brats that have transplanted to NYC and are spouting some kind of image in order to convince their friends and family back home(but more so themselves)that they are now trendy city folk. Since none of them have friends or a social network, these bike protests, war protests, and any other protest is done as an alternative to singles bars or Starbucks. It also allows them to act out their ex-hippie drug college instructor’s brain-washing them into thinking that they can “change the world.”

However, people who are just being introduced to Carl Paladino now know he’s the kind of guy who enjoys videos of woman copulating with horses and sending racist emails which would make David Duke blush.
New York has been significantly tamed when it comes to biking, but it’s not exactly Amsterdam.
Any notion that somehow rail is subsidized, and other modes of transportation aren’t, is simply not factual,” said Mr. Smith, the president Reconnecting America, a nonprofit transportation advocacy group, who noted that highways and airports were subsidized as well. “Honestly, transportation infrastructure should not be a partisan issue. When you talk about good transportation solutions, they cross party lines.
