hey voted for it… now they’re living it.
NYC just dropped school zone speeds to 15 mph… with a push to bring the whole city down to 20 mph.
Think about that.
This is the big Apple folks ..A major American city… moving at bicycle speed.
Sold as “safety”…

More cameras
More violations
More fines.. don’t you see it now? That’s not mobility. That’s control + revenue.This is how it works:
You expand rules…
You lower thresholds…
You increase enforcement…
You monetize compliance.And people are shocked?

This is exactly what centralized control looks like in real life.You don’t feel it all at once…
You feel it in restrictions.
In fines. In daily friction.They wanted it. Now it’s here.
