Doesn’t New York have a City Council somewhere that makes laws? Yes, I’m sure I read that somewhere. One benefit of consulting it from time to time would be that the chaos of the legislative process is a stumbling block to tyranny.

“There’s also a law against honking bicyclists.”

What is it with these folks in CA?
You have to warn them you’re coming so they can dodge. It is hardly sporting otherwise!

Can Hizzoner just ban bed bugs and make them go away? Clearly the Dept. of Public Health can’t do it through regulation.

My city, Sunnyvale CA, has been enacting all sorts of crazy greenie laws lately. It started with a bag ban, and the styrofoam ban is coming soon. There’s also a law against honking bicyclists.

It’s a living hell here.

I went to a conference in Canada and they recycle it; why not NYC? The alternative is to go back to paper cups which require tree pulp and can’t be recycled due to the coatings.
