Can someone elaborate on why anything has to be done with empty office space? I assume that whoever is leasing the space is still paying for it even if employees aren’t coming in, no?

I’m genuinely curious. What should a government do about empty offices that are not being used but are being paid for? And if they’re not being rented, then doesn’t that simply mean the landlord is still on hook for the monthly mortgage and property taxes?

I’m confused? There was an announcement that the hospital and union reached an agreement. Is that not correct?

Did they get the ratios they wanted?

> kissing the rings of those who actually make this decision.

Can you elaborate or give an example of who these party bosses are?

How has Forest Hills changed over the past 10-20 years? When I lived in Queens, Forest Hills was a predominantly middle class, upper middle class, and even wealthy (Forest Hills Gardens). A lot of blue collar jobs and also working class families and also Western European families. Has it changed at all? Do wealth folks who want to stay in NYC still live in the Gardens?

I encourage you all to support Troop 6000, which is a Girl Scout troop for girls in the NYC Shelter System.
