Yup. And do you see those people in NY? Have we seen this flood of people? I haven’t.

I really regret leaving that rent stabilised 2br for 2500 in Astoria in 2019.

I think we all need to know this. Then again, most of these ‘luxury buildings’ are just projects with extra trinkets.

You can get by without cars if you live in wburg/greenpoint/LIC/most of manhattan/etc. But if you're out in Bayridge and need to go about your day (or heaven forbid, visit family elsewhere in the outer boroughs) then doing it without a car is a hard sell.

And here I was half expecting him to say bicycles.

I think this is a pretty balanced take on the issue. With prices being what they are, I like the idea of saving money by staying home more days. So maybe if we didn't make midtown unaffordable more people might show up more often.

Another public sector entity I know has an average recruitment time of 9 months. People I have known received job offers months after forgetting about applying.

Reply to New report reveals that New York has the 3rd best mobile network speed and coverage in the nation in study comparing download/upload speeds, latency, and total coverage area across 100 US cities by LithiumLawson
No fancy chart will convince me that NYC has anything other than poor service. AT&T and queensboro? Might as well be on the moon. Rural Africa which lacks roads has better cell phone reception than the Hudson metro north line up to Westchester.
Just the idea that you need to mix and match your operator in - let us remind ourselves - the richest city in the world is mind boggling. Want connection at home AND where you work? Or maybe even on your commute? Get out of here.

The niche is services like paid for guarantors. Works already in most of the nice buildings but it costs a fortune.

This. When I moved to the US it was all shitty options. Regardless of salary you didn’t have the option to get your own place (unless you paid something like 6 months upfront or used one of those eye-wateringly expensive guarantor options), so it was roommates. And Craigslist is a damn weird place to be meeting people. I looked at many of these types of places before getting lucky with a roommate but they all had sketchy reviews and were expensive.
Hopefully Facebook groups have made this a whole lot easier and these quasi tech solutions can die.

I’ve got a traffic violation from 2019 that keeps being pushed down the line. I don’t think I’m going to court for that this year.
