    Goodness, this article was a pain to read. Every single point raised is easily refutable but there’s one particular paragraph I wanted to pick apart:

    Among the plan’s more than 80 demands is a bizarre proposal to build playgrounds smack in the middle of city streets that would then be redesigned into cul-de-sacs — a move the group claims will solve the city’s “playground desert problem.”

    Imagine calling a plan to build more playgrounds - something that would provide a long-term benefit for children- “bizarre” just because it just might remove some streets? I don’t want come off as employing the overused “think of the children” argument since it’s used to justify censorship but children do, in fact, have a right to clean spaces with breathable, unpolluted air.

      The NY Post is cancer. Anyone who works there should seriously reconsider their life choices.

      This COMMUNIST thinks building PLAYGROUNDS will solve the LACK OF PLAYGROUNDS?! Gadzooks, what fooferaw! Communists are so silly! Let the free market provide playgrounds.

      it is funny how low they are willing to go, not even journalistic integrity is stopping them anymore. should have the name of the writer out there and his twitter account so they can be shamed on public. If this is an actual person and not fake name or AI.
