Reply to Cost of 2nd Avenue Subway extension to East Harlem balloons to $7.7B by Grass8989

> The new price tag includes interest payments on debt the MTA expects to take out to build the subway extension.

I’m sorry, we give rich folks loan forgiveness via the PPP loan program. We give billionaires tax cuts and almost 0% interest loans.

But forgiving student loan debt or financial infrastructure projects? Nah they gotta pull themselves by the bootstrap.

I wonder if Hudson yards would have been viable if they got the same treatment as the MTA.

Reply to A completely normal 58 degrees day in FEBRUARY! by membershipreward

If it’s this warm now, imagine summer. There’s gonna be so much strain on the power grid, I deff think there’s going to be another major blackout either in this region, and / or other parts of the US in the coming years.

And yes, people die from extreme heat (and other extreme weather conditions)

Reply to Manhattan rents hit an all-time high in January by WarrenBuffetsDriver

The vibe from articles covering rent increases always seem fine… yes the market is strong, jobs everywhere, rents going up…

Vs when rents are dropping: there’s chaos everywhere

This is why Uber/ Lyft / carshare etc proliferated so much. Shady things like this that cab drivers do allowed these companies to start and grow.

At least uber / Lyft would tell you upfront they’re price gouging you instead of a cab driver being shady and not starting the meter.

It’s rather ironic… that most of the folks that work for the LIRR are the same people who complain about government bloat and waste.
