He’s a hardcore right wing reactionary.

All the hate Pete Buttegig gets from online leftists should be directed at Chris Marte.

12sttales.bsky.social•31 days ago

He has always been this shitty, the rich soho nimbys are his core constituency

leokitty.bsky.social•31 days ago

driving in chinatown, a thing everyone loves. with the wonderfully straight, paved roads.

Upper class class solidarity, same as it ever was

While he wasn't DSA endorsed, some members supported him. They don't get nearly enough shit for this. It was obvious even then he was going to be a rubber stamp for Adams.

Far be it from me to defend Marte, but its not like Park Row is some open street urbanist paradise. It's just a parking lot for cops. Surely there's a better use of that space than vehicle storage for NYPD.

Not true. There is a protected bike lane and, when there isn't a parade going on, a bus lane.

Yes, how will Chinatown possibly survive the 21st century without more traffic?

patacon-pisao.bsky.social•31 days ago

Chinatown desperately needs to be pedestrianized, based on the amount of foot traffic, it’s as if all the cars on Canal St spill over to all parts of the neighborhood

It’s quite ludicrous how many issues he’s on the wrong side of.

2avesag.as•31 days ago

He represents the least car friendly and most transit accessible part of NYC with the tallest buildings, and he's a pro-car, anti-development NIMBY. What are we even doing here?

bendwalsh.bsky.social•31 days ago

I really need a couple of thousand words from someone on why he is like this. It's bizarre and fascinating.

2avesag.as•30 days ago

What about 5 words that do the trick instead?

Ah yes, Mr “city of yes will create shadows”. As if the LES is big sky country.

Wasn't Marte endorsed by @streetspac.org ? What happened to him? https://www.streetspac.org/2023_nyc_general_election
