August 14, 2019Justin Brannan Feeds Into the “Car Culture” Rhetoric
Whenever I hear someone in New York say “car culture,” I cringe.
People, bikes and cars have always existed in NYC. It’s possible, but there is going to be traffic, regardless of your mode of transportation. The term ‘car culture’ is divisive rhetoric that puts NY’ers at odds with another, when most NY’ers use multiple means of transportation.
The ‘car culture’ term is being used by Streetblog and it’s sheep. The term allows Streetblog to unite cyclists in hate against drivers, instead of asking for better designed streets to include everyone. We need to worry when we hear politicians repeat the terms.
Even more concerning is if anyone looks into Streetsblog funding, they can see they get their big bucks from Mike Bloomberg. See hereBasically, Bloomberg owns Corey Johnson and he doesn’t know it. Sadly, our Councilman just fell too. I wonder if these Democrats realize whose owning them? Even stranger, Bloomberg was no friend of cyclists – see here – why is he interested in funding Streetsblog?
Brannan should be advocating his area, which has terrible train service. Brannan’s household owns a SUV or caravan – someone from Marty Golden’s staff photographed it and put it on social media last year. And Justin has supported Uber repeatedly because he uses it frequently (and there is nothing wrong with that), but it is included in the cult against cars.
See here:
I’m a Bay Ridge guy. I know how horrible & unreliable our subways can be. I’m a fan of Uber and use it myself. We are NOT trying to kill Uber or companies like Uber. Anyone who suggests otherwise is lying.

It is wrong to mislead people and work people up into a lather under false pretenses. I’m a fan of @Uber and I use the app fairly often. The @NYCCouncil does not want to destroy these companies or take away these services. Uber and @lyft should stop lying to their customers.
— Justin Brannan (@JustinBrannan) August 3, 2018
Uber beat NYC taxis at their own game. Absolutely. I like Uber. I use it a lot. But it’s gotten out of control.

If you are looking for the cute personalized first day of school boards like the one above, Alex makes them. You can contact him here or through his site. Alex personalizes the sign with your child’s info.
This isn’t a chalkboard, but a print. The print looks nicer in pics.
Besides small children, it could also be funny for a first day of high school, college or a new teacher.
They are $10 for people who are local and will pickup. They can also ship them for a fee.
They also sell this Watch Me Grow t-shirt which is cute if you do it each Summer before school starts.

August 13, 2019Eric Adams Blocked Me On Twitter To Stifle My First Amendment Rights
Eric Adams blocked me on Twitter because he wants to trick people into thinking he is a good leader when he isn’t. Adams manages that account.
Legally, Adams can’t block me or anyone else in Brooklyn on social media because he is an elected representative. See here
I am surprised that Eric Adams doesn’t know the law. The decision of this court case has been in the news for a long time because President Donald Trump was blocking people who didn’t agree with him.
Eric Adams can mute me if he doesn’t want to read what I have to say.
Eric Adams is trying to run for NYC Mayor using his Twitter account, but I won’t let him pretend he has done things, that he hasn’t. I have no reason to lie about him. More about Eric Adams as the Borough President here, here, here, and here.
I sent this message on Twitter for Eric Adams to unblock me. If he doesn’t, I will pursue this as Eric Adams may continue to block other women in the future. Adams doesn’t think women should have much of a say in government….remember when he and other men tried to block Mathylde Frontus?

August 13, 2019Why Does Gounardes Keep Surveying?
Started my day at the 18th Ave D train with morning commuters. I want to hear from you so we can make the @MTA work better for everyone! #FixtheMTA pic.twitter.com/GC2fH5P7cB

The trains haven’t improved. Why does Senator Gounardes keep surveying people?
If the trains haven’t improved, why does he keep surveying people?
There are so many areas that need his attention. Why won’t he survey the Bay Ridge Merchants about the BID?
