Brooklyn carries all that traffic ANYWAY. I will not sit here and be a second class
citizen in my own city. I have every right you do as a Manhattan resident. If they
want to make it a residence driving only city, no problem. But to make me equal
to Hackansak is utter bullshit.
And frankly Ray, I love you, but if you don't like traffic, moving out of
Manhattan is an option.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attacted at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
