Last night, we heard all or our favorite bikelash arguments. We also heard something novel and unhinged from Board member Stephen Harrison. He believes that the presence of Citi Bike docks in the street will lower the value of homes so much that DOT should compensate nearby property owners.

Tomorrow's CB10 traffic and transportation meeting will be an important one. If we're going to reduce traffic, limit car dependency, and improve street safety, we need a dense and usable network of alternative transit modes. Show your support of cycling and less public space for car storage.

Your Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis on the historic market crash and meltdown: It's just "a little turbulence as you move to smooth skies." Remember that in a few months, when the full effects begin to be felt. The person you elected to protect you said it's merely "a little turbulence"

Today, as we hear about what's happening to the economy, it's important to note how our local politics caused this. Nicole Malliotakis, our Congresswoman, has the power to create and remove tariffs. Not Trump. Months ago, she voted to give that power away, without conditions.

People will say this is the result of a presidential election, and that’s partly true. But the Constitution does not delegate tariff power to the president, and he is only able to impose these ruinous, peace-destroying taxes because Congress has let him do so. Congress can end this at any time.

A simple reminder that Nicole "I want to build a Women's History museum" Malliotakis voted AGAINST allowing new parents from designating someone to vote for them in Congress after the birth of a new child. Fuck being with your newborn. You gotta come to work.
