So discrimination based on generalizations.

What about 20 years from now when that extra officer is collecting a pension and getting their health care paid for until death?

It literally isn’t.

There’s no evidence that eliminating cash bail causes crime. It’s a narrative pushed by conservatives and conservative outlets who will inevitably push back on any reform effort.

This is the truth. Eating hot soup in a reasonable chill is great.

I mean they already park on sidewalks obstructing public space. If a car is doing that, outside a precinct, with a thin blue line sticker/placard/PBA card in the window it doesn’t take a detective to figure out who owns that car.

One of those assholes has a significantly higher likelihood of killing you.

Okay but do the trains run?

Fully agree that the decline being attributed to an increase in cops on the platform is absurd and purely a propaganda push to get more money to and overfunded police force.

Yes, up from a time 2 years ago when ridership was still significantly lower, especially considering that was the height of Delta.

Year to date compared to last year transit crime is down nearly 30%. You’re sharing old articles.

Do you have a reliable source for this?

Because that job goes from temporarily vacant to permanently removed. At least when it’s temporarily vacant there’s an opportunity to fill it and get that work done. If the position is fully cut that isn’t happening.

Yes because it is.

The increase in criticism of personal car ownership is probably influenced by a couple of things.

One being how many people went out and got cars during the pandemic. While TLC plates make up a ton of cars on the road, the increase in personal car ownership has made parking a nightmare. Combine that with the fact that people have realized they’d rather use streets for literally anything other than personal cars and you get where we are now.

The second is there are just more options now. The subways always been there along with busses, but dedicated street space to bus lanes has likely improved service in some areas allowing people to ditch their cars. Combine that with the fact that there are significantly more bike lanes and a (flawed but fairly widespread) bike share system available and again, people are just realizing cars aren’t as necessary as they once were.

Are you? Because the information is extremely public and you haven’t actually refuted what I just said.

The plan is in no way detrimental to the four neighborhoods and in fact two of them already have jails on the exact site. Can’t say they’ve negatively impacted either lower Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn.

Renewable energy projects won’t do anything for mysterious business interests and will make the city more resilient and energy independent which is all positive. Not sure how you can make that sound nefarious but I’m sure you’ll give it a shot.

That’s not at all what it’s about since business options in such an isolated space with severe height restrictions aren’t great to begin with.

Shootings and murders are both down year over year though, not just this winter.

The New York Times also published multiple articles about crime in New York City. Saying they had a unilateral narrative that it was pure perception is a flat out lie.

What do you specifically need that police protection from?

The NYPD has a multi billion dollar budget. They can figure it out.
