thats...not a good thing.

theyre there to collect a check not earn one

so. you one of them or related to one. Don't worry this city doesn't have the guts to get rid of useless jobs let alone unionized ones.

> how does it take multiple years to basically pile up dirt?

(the union doesnt just protect workers by making sure the pay and benefits and safety are good. They also make sure each project takes a while. cant go running out of work)

why would people who will leave nyc in 5 years to go start their big boy lives care about what happens to nyc in 30 years? Theyre just upset their glow up fuck around era in nyc is being blighted by...construction noises or something.

well..this evil thing...that my party did...and keeps doing. I bet the demoCRAPs would do it too! in theory!

The congress still has 0 oversight powers over him and are hoping they can just circumvent that by being bullies to staffers. I dont care if you dont like bragg, feds dont suddenly get oversight authority over shit you dont like

> NY is a single party consent state.

its ridiculous this needs to be specified :)

good.

Fuck the Republicans - theyve got no business here

you make this country worse

we gotta start making these binary - 2 things good for everyone, one of them is going to happen. Locals get to pick 1 - not encase land they don't own in amber because they like the vibes.

you get a rest stop for delivery workers or a new skyscraper housing development. if you vote neither you get both.

you and i had a different view of sanctuary. I just meant 'feel free to come here and do your thing, documented or not'

im for that too lol good point

we are whatever enough of us vote to be. fly the red flag high comrade

no but really nationalizing them is too much work. remove tax incentives for office buildings, fix the zoning and regulatory issues with conversions. after that the business owners can make their own decisions. if its keeping buildings we dont particularly need at a loss, thats kinda their business. but dont reward them for it

the priority should not be for it to be a great option. they made a bet we would want office buildings and we dont. thats capitalism lol. cut the subsidies tax breaks etc for office buildings we dont need and they can decide to convert it and make some money, or make no money.

> deterrent for many drivers who will otherwise take NJ transit or PATH to go into Manhattan

sounds good

i live in a co-op i aint shoveling shit bring it on if its gonna be cold it may as well be pretty

ive seen snow once lol. get over here this is the best part of the cold

check back with us in 30 days. case closed doesnt mean job done lol

We did win the house every time he was president or on the ballot lol

tumor-ish

"sir thats just your brain"

Don't be racist im afro-latino

That everytime any cost is incurred to drivers or an implication that they should use public transportation they will remember and embellish every single vaguely difficult thing about their lives in the justification of why they cannot possibly use public transportation and also why the cost to own a car in nyc should always be kept artificially low for them

Every time - every single person here is a disabled single LGBT POC LLC mother with 3 babies all with special needs that need to be driven to different boroughs for the special needs appointments and 17 parents all of whom are in a wheelchair and all also have special needs.

I have never heard someone frame themselves more as a victim than when someone mentions their cars should not be subsidized.

Unless they paid upfront isn’t that the correct way to look at it? Rents paid monthly

its weaponized everywhere its allowed to let a small angry minority remove electeds in super low turnout specials so yes, still opposed.
