[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want children playing kickball in the street, move to the suburbs. Seriously, you’re in the wrong place. Do you think kids should be able to play in the streets of Manhattan? If you let your kids play in the street in DC, you should have your head examined. [/quote]

I don’t understand this mentality of “if you don’t like X then move to Y.”  A city and its government should be responsive to the different needs of its citizens. If some residents of a citizen want to advocate for bike lanes and some want to advocate for higher speed limits for cars so they can get to their destination, the result should reflect in some way what the citizens want and what helps the city grow.  50 years ago many circles were cut down to provide more car lanes- why didn’t the people who wanted that just move instead of trying to change the city to suit them?

Love how DC has hundreds of miles of bike lanes that hardly anyone uses. The number of bicyclists in DC is pathetically small and yet we have all these lanes everywhere.[/quote]
