I’m pretty sure back when you were sleeping on trains, stuff like this was still happening. You just may not have known about it, because we just weren’t as hyper aware of everything back then.

We’re nowhere near 80s levels of crime…

Outrageous. That kid appeared to be completely defenseless, and just wanted to be left alone.

My guess is the police officer will be reprimanded. Highly doubtful that’s what they’re trained to do in that situation.

Reduced rent through increased housing is certainly a piece of the puzzle, and a great investment for the future, but it would likely be a decade before we actually saw any substantial citywide rent reductions due to expanded housing availability. If rent stabilization was outlawed, what would working class families do right now, in real time?

When would we know if the Supreme Court accepts, or rejects, this case? Is there a way to follow it?

There’s a difference between hope and faith.

Hopefully the Supreme Court doesn’t take this case, but if they do, and they side with the landlords, hopefully legislators will be able to come up with a new law that can’t be challenged successfully. I guess we’ll see. This law is one of the few things that keeps NYC affordable for working class people. Would really be a sign of the times to see it go away.

So you lose the debate, and then as a last resort pivot to personal insults. 👍

Have a nice day.

LOL. Ok…

You yourself noted there were 247 traffic deaths and 246 shooting deaths. So how is my title inaccurate?

I didn’t change the title of the article, I wrote an original title for the thread I created. Is my title inaccurate?

I wonder if this will get as much attention as when something horrible happens in the subway.

Yea, this is a problem.

How was this unprovoked? Were they not fighting over a cellphone?
