I've even heard people say that they're a third-generation New Yorker to build legitimacy

From my observation I think it's always been the latter. If you don't say you were born here and living in the neighborhood for a long af time (decades), you're deemed a transplant and, well, you know how the rest goes lol

I'm one of those walking weirdos who tries to keep my pace when crossing the street to assert my right of way

With a driver, every fiber of my being wants me to speed up in order to not trigger their impatience.

That feeling isn't absolutely absent with bikes, but substantially less.

You can help maximize the potential of our youth by calling the Universal Daylighting bill to an immediate vote to save lives!

(I'm a 10-year Southeast Queens resident and fully support it.)

The hard truth: If this Council fails to pass Universal Daylighting or passes a watered down version, kids will die, and it will be entirely Adrienne Adams' fault.

That makes two of us!

...and also, yeah, you're right. A lot of gamers I follow (not in this urbanism/transit circle) are also into sports.
