A screenshot of a Facebook post and subsequent comment discussing car dependency and transportation infrastructure in Norwalk. The original post by Jalin Sead Sr. (a member of the City Council) reads: "Do you think you could realistically live in Norwalk without a car? Why or why not? If not, what would need to change to make walking, biking, or public transportation a viable option for you and your family?" A prominent comment by Vinny Scicchitano replies: "The question isn't can you live without a car the question is why ? One of the greatest privileges of living in the greatest country on earth is mobility. Mobility is a large part of our high standard of living.If wake up tomorrow and decide I want to drive to Vermont I can .There are many reasons why owning a car improves quality of life. The real question is why is this administration hellbent on turning Norwalk into a third world country? Three people on 1 scooter reminds me of scenes Vietnam or Honduras. Why are we turning Norwalk onto metropolitan city , and doing it with a COMPLETE disrespect for the residents that liked their home just the way it was ."
