It seems (SEEMS, folks) that NYPD is retaliating against the all the recent attention to parking abuse by enforcing even less. I always feared that, and it's why I was not enthusiastic about uncivilservants.org. Perhaps congestion pricing is a better way to make the public costs of driving truly equitably shared, rather than subject to b.s. such as corrupt enforcement.

The Skytrain and A train already provide a transit link, and to many more destinations than one in lower Manhattan. The A train should be upgraded with plush seats, its cars and stations retrofitted for baggage, some stops skipped, and voila. There's our Link.
