‘Absurd’ NYC Council bill would let street vendors hawk in middle of sidewalks: ‘Radical change’
Story by Rich Calder • 22h



Big Apple sidewalks may soon “radically change” under an “absurd” new City Council bill that allows streets vendors to block everything from mailboxes to benches, critics told The Post.

The legislation from Councilwoman Carmen De La Rosa (D-Manhattan) would permit pushcarts to set up two feet away from the curb, or an additional six inches further away from vehicular traffic than currently allowed.

But the bill would also allow vendors to place their carts “as close as possible” to any obstructions — which means the peddlers could set up shop in front of countless obstructions too.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
