Why do half the posts on that sub seem to boil down to “NYC would be so much better if it didn’t have people in it”?

Did you mean to write "cars" instead of "people"?

That subreddit is not as bad as /r/fuckcars though. There's a lot more constructive posts.

No. I meant what I said (although of course o was being a bit hyperbolic for humor). There are plenty of cars in the linked video. What there aren’t are people. And then the comments talk about how nice it was to travel around during lockdown when there was no one around.

This makes no sense. Are you perhaps injecting your own preconceived notions into it? Point out one post from that sub that boils down to this. The sub is pro alternative forms of transport and generally opposed to car-oriented infrastructure

It’s closed down for the marathon, it’s basically a giant open streets until the wheelchairs start

There’s a bike path just to the left. So that’s nice too

This whole area is unfortunate. When there was a second elevated subway line adjacent to the current one perhaps the sheer width of this abomination of a roadway made sense but not so anymore. I'm hoping the renovation of QB station will make it a bit more pleasant. It's a pain to cross right now and often feels unsafe with cars ignoring red lights, blocking crosswalks, and coming in hot off the bridge at 50 mph. Also it's shitty to cross by bike, there are no actual lanes going across so you have to use the crosswalks basically.
