If you go look at street view of this street and the proposed alternative Liverpool Drive, you can see a few things:

1. Eastbound Birmingham is already so wide that drivers are leaving enough room for bikes anyway.
2. Liverpool has street parking where Birmingham does not, so obviously any reuse of that roadway for bikes would face vociferous opposition.
3. The street is steep for bikes, but there aren't really alternatives to the grade up from the ocean.

So yeah, obviously classic bad faith socal nimbyism. All of that could be solved by the American local government's worst enemy: physical separators.

Just going to point out that it's kind of an unreasonable expectation that people will not be sweaty when it's that hot outside.

Or even just painting curbs, since they say they'll still ticket drivers parked at painted curbs.

If you consider it objectively, it is in Israel's (the country, not Jewish people's) self-interest to encourage diaspora Jews to feel unsafe in their home countries.

When I was an intern and first moved to the city, all I had ever known was driving to get everywhere. The suburb I grew up in didn't have any public transit other than school buses.

I think for a lot of Americans (making an assumption here), they don't even consider modes other than driving. Maybe as part of orientation you can explain the public transit options available.

Look, somebody has to tell the unwashed masses that Israel is our perfect baby who can do nothing wrong.

What if there was just an internationally recognized state with internationally recognized borders and the right to govern and defend itself? Wouldn't that just be kooky?

The US was considered reliable because, until Trump, both parties had identical foreign policy.
