According to advocates and a review of court records by The City Reporter, that tactic has been playing out with increasing frequency in neighborhoods like Jackson Heights, Washington Heights, Fordham and especially in College Point, Queens, where most residents rely on cars to get around.
“Taking people out of cars, that seems to be the pattern,” Sister Ruth Lautt, a nun who lives in College Point and volunteers at St. Fidelis Roman Catholic Church, told The City Reporter.
