New York is going to get the same media coverage as Paris did. Paris got so much better in the last 15 years it’s absolutely crazy.

Really? How so? I've wanted to visit for decades; I haven't been scared, just poor 😅

Paris did the same thing Mamdani wants to do in NYC: Turn roads into green spaces and pedestrian paths/bikeways and make it much easier to get around without a car. While the people there were at first unsure about it and complained, they've been really happy with it now that it's proven itself to be beneficial. The air is cleaner, and the streets are safer and far less congested. It's totally transformed Paris.

That sounds great. I'm really happy for Paris!
