The crowd at Josh Kraft’s mayoral kickoff went wild when he promised to “pause” construction of new bike lanes. But are the lanes a cause of Boston’s traffic and parking woes? Or a way to solve them?

    Personally I think all private cars should be removed from cities. This way city would know exactly how much traffic it needs and where. Now it’s just prediction.

        IDK if he is, but papa Kraft is absolutely okay with human trafficking.

    I wrote a huge explanation and then deleted it. The TL;DR is that all cars are are traffic. Bikes are too, but look around, what kind of traffic do you see?

    Yeah, just like in Scandinavia. Those places are shithole countries because of the bike lanes. Right? That’s the case, right?

    Ugh, cycle lanes. Get rid of sidewalks too. Make more room for our oversized child mashers! What are these things? Buildings? What are they for? They’re just getting in the way of more road! Get rid of it all!

    I won’t be happy until we’ve just got 4 million square miles of pure asphalt!

      He’s a billionaire’s son. He’s probably never experienced traffic.

    I’ve read that if you want to kill someone, the best way to do it is to hit them with your car. The authorities will just be like “Oh, well, he was walking and you hit him what a terrible accident. Well, couldn’t be helped.”

    Maybe Kraft has a murder fetish. Probably he’s just a scumbag, though.
