The New York Post, of course, reports that a concerted effort among the neighbors around West 30th between Seventh and Eighth avenues (or for anyone who thinks of Manhattan as a real-life Panopticon experiment, cellblocks 27-33) to ban parking on the weekends and end the reign of sexual terror on their streets has so far elicited little sympathy from chair of the Transportation Committee, Raju Mann. Though flustered residents say that discarded condoms and "other paraphernalia" carpet their sidewalks, Mann merely shrugs and reminds them that they live in the middle of a constant panoply of humanity in all its most grotesque and oppressive manifestations. "There's all kinds of problematic activity going on," says Mann, "like noise, violence, sexual activity and drug use." In other words, all New Yorkers have plenty to complain about and the residents of the West 30s should just grit their teeth and be thankful that the subway people haven't marshalled a city-wide rebellion (yet)
