Fuck cars. Everyone street parking in NYC is a "rat breeder", simple as. It's on their hands.

Good for you if you never need a car, but other people need cars for work and family needs. What do you propose that they do?
You don't need a car to have a family in NYC. You might in every other city in America but you do not here.
How do you know everybody's needs?

Some people do need a car for work, healthcare, education, living with disabilities, or many other reasons not mentioned.

How do you? Why the assumption that public transit cannot fulfill the needs of the vast majority of people?

Perhaps there is some tiny fraction that needs a care. Well, there would be enough on-street parking left for them.

What is far more common is the a bunch of people that don't need cars hide behind the mythical empathetic car-dependent person.

First you said "You don't need a car to have a family in NYC" and now you're talking about "the vast majority of people". Which is it? Your thesis is changing.
