much smarter than all the astroturf the city has been throwing on park projects for the past decade. the parade grounds in BK have a fenced-off area full of all the ripped, worn turf and literal garbage cans full of the microplastics they left off.

i think he's on to something. just think about it, after a year of prison guards bringing them in new drugs, let's just release them with no support system onto public transit and let the whole cycle repeat itself again!

oh and as a kicker, even if they were to get clean and get their shit together, lets also make sure no one will ever let them rent an apartment because of their record.

i can never tell if his incoherence is intentional or not

i mean new york city cops have always had a loose allegiance to the actual city going back to when they fought a literal gun battle over city hall in 1857.

i mean law enforcement basically invented the myth so of course they'd perpetuate it.

honestly thank god for them because at this pace the outer boroughs would get dispensaries in the 2030's

i'm all for providing a venue for those officers' loved ones to commiserate and continue processing their greif but the fanfare the PBA and the tabloids gave this kinda makes my skin crawl.

especially this headline

let's see how that plan goes in like 15 years when there are casinos everywhere from the Bronx to Coney island and they are all struggling to draw folks in

might be a good time to watch Inside Llewyn Davis

yup. also a big "nothing to see here" as gambling rolls across a state famous for insider corruption

the car had the right of way! roads are for cars not for restaurants! /s

so the pattern i'm getting here is that all the pompous, sketchy dudes claiming to represent the "real brooklyn" actually live in jersey.

we all should start banning James Dolan from places too. he's hereby banned from my shitty apartment and all the parties i never bother to throw.

it always amazes me just how much we've replaced our railway system with highways. imagine if you could take a train/trolly to the shore from middletown instead of sitting in bumper to bumper traffic.

gee rich people neighborhoods sure have the drama /s

a christmas miracle!

if I'm remembering this right, the Manhattan DA oversees a lot of corporate cases that result in financial penalties that essentially get paid to that office so they essentially have a massive discretionary fund.

I think last time I remember the DA did something like this it was allocating funding for other localities to actually process their massively backlogged rape kits.

imo, mcdonalds is for when there aren't other options.

small town in rural PA? you'll see folks there all day because there isn't much else fast and cheap.

nyc? whats the point of a crappy burger and alright fries when you can go grab a couple of street tacos or a slice of pizza for around the same price. mcdonalds is only worth it when you're drunk and the better food has gone to bed.

seriously every "how much do i tip" post has schmucks in manhattan being like "it's my god given capitalist right to order a sandwich from the corner of my block and refuse to tip the person who brings it to me."

while this is an absolute disservice to the people who voted him in, i am kinda all for NYC politics moving out from the giant umbrella of "we are all democrats even if some are leftists while others are basically what counted as a mainstream republican in 2012."

yeah, I'm all for homegrown stars but not ones from that town (way back I worked at the nearby Acme, Rumson folk were the bain of my existence.)

this sounds like the kind of legal strategy a bunch of dudes came up with over a game of golf

roundabouts are designed to slow traffic and make drivers think about how their actions impact others so we all can pass through the circle without incident.

jersey drivers don't believe in that whatsoever.

sorry it wasn't the most helpful! good luck!

give Pigeons on Broadway a call! they can probably help sort out a foster if that is at all a possibility.

I'm guessing some landlord/super dumped these after whoever was taking care of them left the picture for whatever reason (its kinda an older person's hobby so maybe passed away?)
