For what it’s worth, 160 is a record, but it’s not that far outside the norm. In 2024, corrupt piece of shit Eric Adams announced 147 car-free streets. In 2025, same administration, it was 148. The Trick-or-Streets program has been running for only five years now, so it’s understandable it’d still be ramping up in scale.
NYC mayor’s office press releases like these from every administration are puff pieces intended to be read uncritically (if at all), but I’m glad the trend is going upward.
Thanks for the context.

I wanna feel all the hypocrisy lol
Meanwhile, trunk-or-treat continues to sweep the rest of the nation 🤢🤮
Trunk or Treat is such an abomination.
growing up outside of town and spending my teenage years getting to many of my friend’s houses in much more rural places, I do understand how trunk or treat could come about and make sense. hell, we used to get driven around from house to house in the country sometimes.
what I don’t understand is when it’s done in suburbia
Now I imagine in the country you can at least blow up pumpkins at midnight to make up for having to trunk or treat.
for us at that age, it was an awful lot of hide-and-seek in the woods. makes for a long scary game when you’ve got 10-20 kids spread out over a dozen acres.
