They tried their damnedest, but somehow they still make the mayor sound based as hell.

- She likely could afford a car since she has a mayor’s salary, but wisely chooses to ride the bus because of its many benefits to society

The GOP’s worst insult was comparing her to the coolest mayor in recent memory. over a bus lane.

Bus lanes in my town are so extremely wasteful, they sit empty for 56 minutes every hour (if a bus passes once every 15 minutes). And are maybe sometimes used by taxi’s or the police. That’s it.

So the buses are running on time, thus offering a viable alternative to cars, and the reduced lane is reversing the induced demand for cars? Based as hell
Make places for people, not cars

Wasteful, or extremely efficient? The bus keeps moving. Meanwhile, each of the parked cars sits idle 95% of the day, taking up tons of valuable real estate.

As a longtime former resident of the city for which this article is featured, I am grateful to happily be in the former camp. I totally get what the people voted for and what they received. Buuuuut the hardline take with some progressives truly ventures into theee utmost fascist territory, if I am to be speaking honestly the level of hostility towards those (myself included) who cannot simply make their lives adjust to public transit and to recycling/reusing every single item utilized in the course of a day is somewhat off putting. Many cannot make their daily routines align with what is considered progressive, environmentally conscious and aware. This type of “selfish” behavior is frequently met with the type disgust and disdain that only truly miserable souls seem to enjoy sharing in.
