They illegally park wherever. Block sidewalks. Block bike lanes. Block Crosswalks. Double-park.
Imagine I opened a store selling…I don’t know…chairs. Then I put out chairs

on 4 or 5 blocks all around my store!!


Holy shit that’s bad. And I thought it was wasteful when some car-stores popped up close-by me in a mid-sized Finnish city, and what they built on was unused fields before. Still I can’t understand how it’s profitable to rent that much, surely people aren’t buying cars that often. But I guess it has to be profitable, since we’re in capitalism.
Just how is a mystery to me.
Also your bike-infra kinda sucks. I’m happy to see it exists, but… for your sake I’d hope it’d be improved. Like maybe set up lights for the bike crossing so you don’t have to rely on people’s good will not to get driven over.
All of NYC is like this. Cops, MAGA trucks, dealerships, delivery trucks- fucking everyone parks on the sidewalk
Sorry to hear that
To be fair, the bike lane is better than 99.9999% of America’s biking infrastructure, so… it’s not get too picky here.
