Yes. You are the elected representative of all of us. Your experience and opinion is ours. Take care with this honor and responsibility you've chosen for yourself. It's a tough job being the chosen anecdote to represent millions.

Sounds like a professional art critic.

The pic of the raccoon just hanging on the window guard staring directly into the camera made me laugh. Like it's taunting her lol.

I hope the unit has an AC cause she can never open that bedroom window as long as they're there. They'll crawl right in.

Asylum claim is the one that gets you in the door, so of course that's what everyone is gonna try. If I was trying to migrate, I would choose the path that most increase my odds too.

Overstaying tourist visas is the easiest option, but not everyone has the means to qualify for the visa in the first place.

Plot twist: many don't actually live in nyc anyway lol. It's just important to keep an active presence voicing displeasure, fear for one's safety, and overall government incompetence in all the big city subs on this site.

It's the compost bin. Those are brown like this mascot. And you can see the waste inside is mostly all food and some yard waste.

The black hump I imagine is the costume wearer's head lol.

I tried watching it but I have always hated Adrien Brody's voice. It always sounds like a New York wise guy from an older era. And it was getting in the way of me enjoying this series. Is he in every episode a lot?

Surely he has to show proof the lease was sent to you. Anyone can just type up a lease and print it right before a hearing and say see judge here's the lease I offered 60 days ago! They're lying, not me!

If I recall correctly once a lease expires you fall into a month to month situation if a new lease wasn't signed or offered. Technically you're now a month to month tenant at the old rate. So no rate increase and thus no 60 day notice requirement since your lease is now officially expired.

And I think being month to month also alters the notice rules after which you can be asked to leave. I would look up the notice rules and set that as my timeline to leave. Cause taking the April deal also means taking the increase.

Mentally put yourself in the mindset that you have to gtfo, and start making decisions about that. Look up the month to month notice rules so you know your rights. And as a last resort contact a lawyer to advise you. A few hundred dollars for a meeting is worth the stress alleviation it can provide once you know where you stand legally.

>It simply being private

is a reason to assume it's not gonna be of the same coverage and quality as the plan it replaces. The last 60 years or so of private healthcare in America is all the proof you need. Insurances nickel and dime you out of coverage every chance they get.

This is like the reverse of when the Phillies had someone from a Mets fan group (7 Line Army) throw out the first pitch at Citizens Bank Park. That one was hilarious. Especially knowing how Philly fans are and the Mets are in the same division, so the animosity is higher.

It's been a while since I was in this boat financially and I don't know if there are any phone plans where there is a data package that's offered that's less than an unlimited data plan on the network, but once upon a time over a decade ago I delayed switching from my grandfathered plan to an unlimited one. My plan was cheaper, and I'd supplement the data with WiFi at school and free networks (didn't even have wifi at home; was at the mercy of neighbors not knowing how to put passwords on their wifi). This change would've been bad for me. And I imagine the ones that will be impacted the most are the poorest among us, if they use it. Hopefully there are enough open networks around so that those negatively impacted have other areas they frequent where they can connect.

Perhaps someone should inform winter about this? Or don't. I like him being MIA for as long as possible.

To be honest, most of us don't expect you to actually do the thing promised either.

Lol ok.

UN makes the least sense cause there is nowhere near as much foot traffic over there as there is at options 1 and 2.

I see 42nd getting the green light. And if t's a success, they do a bougie version at Saks.

Another unspoken benefit is if there are people who used to make that cross town trip who are now boarding at Grand Central, now there's a greater chance at getting a seat during peak rush hour at Penn. though I imagine the mad dash once platforms are announced will forever and always be a thing.

Nothing is good. Everything sucks. Always mad.

Anytime I see estimated walk times when getting directions I always beat the time by half. I know I tend to walk fast, but even when I'm going at a stroll pace (for me) I'm still faster than the directions. I can only imagine they go with a very conservative number for the slowest walkers among us who are still physically able to make the walk.

> all of those poor and low income PoC

as someone from that demographic and living in Jamaica Queens, I can say with confidence that a decent amount of votes from people I know were based on name recognition alone. It was a popularity contest and Adams was the guy people knew the best.

Not all, sure. But a significant amount.

You're probably getting downvoted by long islanders who don't want more people moving into their quaint suburbs.

People always moan and groan about NIMBY's within the 5 boroughs, but they ain't got nothing on the NIMBYarders on Long Island.

the industrial-type feel of the area has a lot to do with that. And the new constructions still underway, which always makes an area sketchy with the scaffolding, plastic barriers, blocked sidewalks, wood walls. etc.

About 7 years ago, 311 was the bee's knees in customer service. Everyone was super cheerful and happy to help and made sure you were satisfied before they ended the call.

Now, sometimes I still get that same type of person but they're more of a go-between. You have a complaint about your building? Here's the appropriate website. Go here and file your claim. You need to know the answer to something related to the DEP? Here's their number. Call them.

If someone is making $15K how the fuck they driving a car? How are they paying for gas and groceries?

Also, running a red light is stupid. Until the penalties are severe enough, people will continue to do it cause it's convenient to them, fuck everyone else.
