Reply to comment by mowotlarx in Can New York Fix Its Housing Crisis? It Depends on the Suburbs by thenewyorktimes
In the last ten years they built a ton of apartments In white plains and it's still expensive as hell to live there. If people think they are going to build low income housing in a village with a household median income of 150k good luck with that. Not even the democrats in Scarsdale want this let alone the republicans

not to mention scarsdale isn't built for this kind of infrastructure. the traffic on post road or palmer avenue is bad enough as it is. Some sections only have one side of a sidewalk (guess where the snow plows put the snow?) Then you have white plains which is more urban so you're going to have this high density urban area surrounded by suburbs with roads that can't handle the increased traffic of personal vehicles which would be needed to go to nearby stores and it's just a recipe for a disaster. Scarsdale is rich town with a village aesthetic. just dropping an apartment tower in the middle of it isn't going to work.
​
Especially when All Westchester seems to focus on is high rise luxury condos. Look what they did to the south broadway area in Yonkers. They pushed out all the lower income people near the metro north station and put up ridiculously priced condos to attract the 'my daddy owns a dealership' Brooklynites because it's one train ride away from the city.

Reply to Agency Notes Not All COVID Gear Was Sold for Pennies — $28M Worth Being Tossed Out by exgalactic
"Benson said the items — including KN95 masks, isolation gowns, aprons and face shields — are all considered “non-medical” and were purchased at the start of the pandemic when medical supplies and safety equipment were difficult to obtain.
Now that higher-grade supplies are available, Benson stated, city health officials said they don’t need the non-medical items anymore."
Uh we still use all of these in care facilities feel free to donate them.

His brother gets enough heat as it is and the mayor probably said to step down to lower the pressure. I'm sure he'll place him somewhere quieter but still paid

Reply to Burying Moses' biggest middle finger to the city? Plan to tunnel the BQE being discussed by scooterflaneuse
Not going to happen. Here's the truth. The BQE will remain shit and get various patch jobs and we will have to live with that because no grand project such as funneling the BQE would ever get off the ground in this day and age

As opposed to the families they're making room for hence why he was moved to the Brooklyn terminal? Fuck off Kennedy Gonzalez. He got a roof over his head, food in his belly and they're pushing through work permits soon even after he broke the law to come here. Like the fucking entitlement

Can confirm, I had one blow just 50 or so feet from me. Blew out my damn ear drums I couldn't hear for a few minutes. Felt terrible for my dog too, fucker was so scared.

I would be highly highly surprised if the building requirements didn't require a set standard of low income housing.
