MODERATORS
You guys should email the NYPost and show your disappointment. Maybe, if enough people emailed them and showed them how you, the readers, do not agree with the way they do things, they would change it.
Obligatory: fuck cars. I am of the opinion that cars might just have been our worst idea.
Cars are fine. Car dependence is not. If you say something broad like "cars might just have been our worst idea" someone will simply point to the cases where it's unambiguously helpful such as ambulances, fire trucks, etc. and dismiss you entirely - along with dismissing the idea of walkable cities
NYPost does not care about what their readers think. Their only job is to push a certain agenda. It is a propaganda rag.
Whoosh
Cars feel like a great solution to a relatively niche problem that got forcibly applied to several other problems for the sake of money.
Still, email them. Preferable the writers themselves as well. Show them your disappointment. Tell them they are actively worsening society. Ask them how they can sleep at night. Make a good argument.
