The DOT is holding a public hearing on some new rules that target parking placard abuse in loading zones on the 7th, and there aren't nearly enough comments.

I think you're exaggerating the cost of owning a car a little, and a 40 minute commute is a little generous for Flushing, Sunset Park and Prospect Park.

You will not be approved for a $2400/month apartment if you are only making $87k here.

> I don't get triggered, but it is always the NY Post that uses the term and I think that's interesting.
Except it's....not always the NY Post? It's a pretty common term used throughout NYC media

And this is just from a quick 3 minute search.
Like I've mentioned in another post it's a term I've seen thrown around everywhere since I was a baby. Is it an outdated term? Sure. But only on this sub are weirdos so bothered by it

Idk, that negative connotation might just be you. I'm in my mid-20's, so I'm not that old, and I still remember there were train cars and buses where there actually were straps that you hold onto when you're standing.
And no, it wasn't just the NY Post that used that term, I remember reading/hearing it from all over growing up, NY1, NY Daily News, NY Times, local news, etc.
I do agree that the term is pretty outdated and out of fashion, but to say it's like a curse word is kinda projecting....
