Oh, that's right. You're the same guy who was crying about all those awful bike messengers riding their bikes (gasp!) for a living, and ruining your Biking Experience.

You really need to get a life, Tom.
If you were more interested in learning about the issue at hand rather than taking cheap shots at people you don't know you would be aware that this path isn't about helping or benefiting poor people. In fact it's quite the opposite. It's about helping rich folks from the burbs get through the poor neighborhoods more efficiently. You would also know, that even though the people of Camden are poor they are not without a voice. And they are to a person outraged at the amount of money being "wasted" on something as stupid as a bike path. Their words not mine. To paraphrase one minister "Six million dollars feeds a lot of people for a long time."

As i said, the level of outrage is on two levels, first why spend money on this now, and two, why there? So, yeah, i'm against the path that most people in the city don't want. That makes me a snob?

And to be clear, i have a life. one which respects the rights of others. Which "was" at one time alot more than i could say for Philly's bike messengers.
