Dear Councilmember Ulrich,

As a New Yorker, you probably like takeout as much as the rest of us. I understand that you’re reacting to the fear of your constituents. You should realize that takeout mostly gets delivered by non-citizens at the bottom rung of the economic ladder. At the very least, licensing the bicycles that they rely on for their employment will subject them to an undue burden that they are ill-equipped to afford. It will also raise costs and delivery times for elderly New Yorkers who rely on takeout for timely delivery of quality food — the very constituents that your proposal purports to defend.

Please reconsider this measure, for all of our sakes.

Yours in pizza, Chinese, and all the wonderful food that makes ours the most delicious, convenient city in the world,

Adam Pollock
