This is kind of naive. Sure I'd love to contribute to my CB meetings, but I have a full time job and not a lot of free time. I'd imagine that lots of folks are in the same boat.

You know who has the time to participate in CB meetings? Old rich retirees. Which is why CBs are universally full of curmudgeonly NIMBYs.

Fuck DeBlasio and Shea for defending this when it happened.

Don't forget that the NYPD chose to direct their resources to engage in this misconduct in the South Bronx while leaving looters in Soho to their own devices that same night.

Kettling these protestors was never about public safety, it was about the NYPD putting on a show of force against protestors demanding police accountability. When that didn't work out for them, they just stopped doing their jobs.

The NYPD is a fundamentally broken organization, and as long as the taxpayer keeps footing the bill for misconduct nothing will change.

Uncontroversial take. Not sure why you're downvoted

Lol same. The title had me do a double take for sure

Agreed but it's really a marketing thing to maximize profits. This is called "clustering" in game theory and it's considered the socially optimal solution for driving traffic to similar businesses

Tearing down or privatizing public housing are not realistic solutions when you don't have transitional housing lined up for tenants who will be displaced.

People love to talk about the burden of NYCHA repairs, but no one wants to talk about the increased burden on shelters and social services if thousands of public housing residents no longer have access to stable housing.

I'm talking about pier 94. I work by there and there are cruise ships docked through the evening every day. As we speak there's an enormous MSC ship that has been docked for several days straight.

For real. These things are posted up off the west side highway spewing fumes for days at a time. Pretty fried how the city prioritizes a quick buck over the health of residents

Lol this is an opinion piece written by a Bloomberg crony intended to malign progressives to distract from the fact that the state democratic party put zero money or effort into competitive house races on long island.

Progressives and corporate dems have always been at odds. Crime is not the primary wedge issue here, but it's incredibly easy to fool reactionaries into thinking that it is.

Pretty sure the 7 is like that. It's called CBTC.

That said, conductors are not the problem here.

They were on the back
