We do this every Sunday in my city. Highly recommended!

So freakin cool! I love it!

No puedo parar de imaginar como seria vivir en Manhattan

This is cool- but yo if you need to take a cab across town you’re fucked
-
It would be cheaper to buy a new car and abandon it at your destination than take a cab across town
-
How is a 20-40 dollar cab ride cheaper than a new car?

This hardly makes a difference since you're already fucked most times by grid lock if you're in a car anywhere in Manhattan. If you need to get across town faster, do what the rest of us do, and take the subway.

The battle against feckless morons has begun. Progress over pacifism

There are open intersections for cars spaced out every bunch of blocks

City has 10 parallel car heavy paths to get from point A to B : normal, good, as it should be.
City has 9 parallel car heavy paths and 1 person/bike/transit path to get from point A to B : A travesty, doom for business, the unraveling of all civilization.

I didn’t know that- read the nyc website and saw no mention of it, thank you

Out of curiosity, do you live here?
I've never taken a cab across town, but I don't live in Manhattan itself. Bus, train, or just walking has always been enough. (Or biking, for the brave)

This is the way to do it. I understand the car tax but because it's not based on income, only the elite get to drive around NYC now.
Instead, actual car free sections fix the problem and are fair to everyone.
