Among the plan’s more than 80 demands is a bizarre proposal to build playgrounds smack in the middle of city streets that would then be redesigned into cul-de-sacs — a move the group claims will solve the city’s “playground desert problem.”

Children playing? Not in my city!

The whole article is just full of these scare quotes.

Furnas’ group also calls to slash parking spots all over the five boroughs — with plans to “repurpose” the space on blocks close to subway stations with “amenities” like wider sidewalks, larger bus shelters, bike parking, benches, so-called “micro forests” and even public restrooms.

That piss smell is part of NYC cultural heritage. This is literally cultural genocide!

I invite these types to go find a small town if a city is just too much for them.

Breezewood, PA sounds like it’s more their speed.

“A city…wants to do CITY STUFF?!?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!”

The American mind cannot comprehend infrastructure. Like, where tf do they think NY and California’s massive property values came from?

Take it from someone who is stuck in their “utopia” of rural Ohio, wanna trade?

not really a fan of cul de sacs, but if they have through-routes for cyclists and pedestrians they can be tolerable.

Its wild how against children playing outside people are. I remember the one time I got into it with my parents' neighbors was when they were canvassing to prevent a playground from being built in their gated community by the hoa, saying that they didn't want the noise and that they didn't want teenagers to smoke on the swingset and shit like that is why my younger siblings have nowhere to go after school but straight home.

And then they wonder why kids just want to play Roblox instead of going outside.
