Why do you keep claiming that the couple is “well to do” and “prestigious”? Because that has zero to do with anything anyone’s saying and they really are not lmao

Does your lawyer know that you’re defending yourself in the middle of the night on Reddit of all place lol

A quick search shows that she’s a blogger (sorry, “editor”) in her 40s who probably makes like max 50-75k a year. How is that “well off” or prestigious? She’s a joke with nothing to lose. Lmao

Your entire post history is about this incident only. Bet they looked for restaurants with low grades and went for it. F off.

“Robert L. Astrachan, a lawyer from Carrion Accident & Injury Attorneys, representing Lucero-Lee and her husband, filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York…”

Indeed ambulance chasers. The owner of the “firm” has a TikTok. Lmao

I’ve had that dish before (not there) and the rice comes separately. So they’re telling us that they poured out the thin, liquidy soup into a bowl, added in the rice, spooned it around and THEN noticed a mouse? Not to mention that the mouse does not look very waterlogged or bloated (like when animals wash up on the beach)? K.

Class A buildings (like what would be built around Penn) are fully leased and near capacity - look at Hudson Yards, 1 Vanderbilt, etc. Yes, a lot of people work from home but the big leaseholders who are willing to pay for primo office space — banks, corporate law firms, consulting firms, tech… ie the tenants of the aforementioned buildings — are back in the office A LOT.

The exodus to those would also free up older office buildings (with operating windows) in less desirable areas for office space (ie, far from transit hubs) that could then be converted into housing per current proposals

I like how the seasoned architect and former Dept of City Planning official who also oversaw the Moynihan development and who has actual common sense (there should be high office density around mass transit, Penn station is a transit station first and foremost, the city probably can’t afford to buy out and tear down an office building that literally just got rebuilt) got booed at a planning event by actual adults just because they didn’t like what he said lol

It’s called garden leave and it’s been a thing since forever

Why are they bringing up a building that Vornado waffled over 30 years ago? He didn’t even get government assistance to build it — he demolished it and waited until he signed a big anchor client to make rebuilding worthwhile.

You also removed an important part of that quote that you replaced with ellipses — that the previous statement is not the case here.

Those lawyers (and you) are grappling at straws. Just rebuild the area. It is a piece of shit that annoying people are protecting in the name of a handful of decrepit buildings.
