[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone told me that the mode of transportation that I use is "less" than the average and didn't want to help people like me be able to access business and amenities safely, I would be upset too.

Are the pictures of people being angry inappropriate? Yes.
Is the anger justified? Yes.

Maybe the people belittling the proposals for bike infrastructure should understand how others perceive THEIR words and actions.

Blocking safety measures for others is selfish and is just as belittling as a picture of people giving the bird to a sign.

The difference? One of these actions can result in injury or death. The other, hurt feelings.[/quote]

If only there were buses that people could easily attach their bikes to. Or, better yet, an underground train system.  Sniff.  Sniff.  [/quote]

And this is why people have started resorting to middle fingers.[/quote]

Most of the people in the neighborhood on the side of the businesses.  Comrade got way out over his skis.  [/quote]

Facts matter. "most of the people" in your mind live in single family homes. Those homes comprise 20% of the people but take up 80% of the land. The other 80% of the people, most of whom are not on the listservs, live on Connecticut Avenue or Ordway Gardens or Quebec House, or other large buildings not single family homes.

So if you get our of your single family, auto-centric bubble, you will understand, there are A LOT of people who walk and bike to the things you drive to. And there are more of them than you.[/quote]

I lived in Quebec House when I was young and dumb and in my 20s. It was a great place to live, despite the horrible rodent infestation.  But I would never have thought to tell long time property owners what was best for their neighborhood.  When I was young you had to earn trophies.  Not like this current generation.  It’s embarrassing.  [/quote]
