Can we cancel Open Streets?

[Anonymous]

OP,

Most people like open streets. So no, sorry, you are outnumbered and outvoted.

mess?

Everyone hates it? Sp that's why thousands of people turned out for each event?

God you people on here watched a man called otto and had a giant hard on for Tom hanks character actions.

Thousands? Let’s at least be honest here. It’s the same 500-750 people at each event. Primarily a mix of ANC commissioners and other political hacks, adult bike fetishists, and aging hippies who get to escape their apartments for a few hours to be around their “community” and troll for free handouts from businesses that were cajoled into participating but quickly realize it’s a total waste of time. Not to mention that this is a complete waste of police resources.

You sound like a very unhappy person. I'm sorry.

There is a drag story hour, so that will surely bring in new people this year.

It’s actually kinda fun and easy to get under your skin. Drag story hours? Open streets? These are your complaints about society in 2023?

These are the complains that can voiced without being deleted.

There are only two events this year — 06/04 and 10/7, right?

Opposition to Open Streets appears to be overblown.

I think you mean they missed a swim lesson because you didn't leave on time.

Pp here. Yea, silly me for not realizing open streets would turn a 15 minute drive to the pool into a two hour odyssey. The traffic was something to behold. But at least some 25 year old *sshole from ward 3 got to rid his scooter down the middle of the street instead of in a protected bike lane.

It would almost certainly have been faster to park, get out of the car, and walk.

Yeah, tell me you don’t have kids without telling me you don’t have kids

I have kids. Your kids can't walk?

How many children young enough to need swim lessons can walk several miles to a swim lesson? Clearly you don’t actually have kids.

Calling something that causes major traffic gridlock “open streets” seems a tad Orwellian…

Gridlock is caused by and experienced by cars. Orwellian would be blaming people who want to walk or bike for the existence of cars.

You can’t walk with a baby or toddler?

I would really like to know where this PP was coming from, where the PP was going (in their car), and which Open Streets event turned "a 15 minute drive to the pool into a two hour odyssey." Maybe they live in Cleveland Park, the swim lesson was at Turkey Thicket, and they couldn't figure out how to get around Georgia?
