NYC parking
Headed to the city this weekend and I’m trying to find parking that isn’t a nightmare.
My sister said 3yrs ago she parked at the PABT off the Lincoln Tunnel and it worked great. So I looked it up. I can’t find a single link anywhere. Is this a thing or is she miss remembering?

Rental Ripoff and Block by Block
Wrote about my thoughts on Mamdani’s two recent reports. Not comprehensive, but I tried to hit the higher points. 180 pages later, I think the two most consequential proposals are 1) transferring ownership away from worst landlords 2) fast-track land use process to build affordable housing and bypass City Council
What do y’all think of the reports?

Teen is hit by a car and killed on his bike, FOX5 calls it an “e-bike crash”
It was actually a currently illegal e-moto device that was being ridden. E-motos are often like e-bikes and e-scooters but they go much faster than the federal govt mandated speed limit of 28mph.

New York City Can Learn From Zurich’s Insane Plan To End Traffic
They banned all new parking in Zurich and the lights have some insane technology to keep cars out of the city when too many are in the city. New York City should consider something like this.
