Reply to comment by Pool_Shark in MSG could force taxpayers to pay $8.6 billion if NYC doesn't renew its permit by HawtGarbage917
It wouldn't. They'll go through litigation and lawyers will make a shit ton of money, but as long as the Mayor doesn't get in the way, in the end the city will not be on the hook for anywhere near that amount. They chose to build that arena knowing they had a temp permit.

For anyone who wants a weekly list I’ve really enjoyed Art Hap. It used to be just a weekly email but they recently also created this website: https://www.arthap.com/
“We find every art exhibition opening in NYC in house, unlike any other art event app or website. If you want to know exactly what’s happening at every gallery in the city, look no further than Art Hap.”

Yeah, man. I have a theory that this Nazi shit is popping up because all the WW2 vets are dead. I’m in my thirties and growing up in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, I always had WW2 vets around who fucking hated nazis. My grandpa, who fought all over Europe used to grab my arm whenever I passed him and Fuck with me by saying, “This is how you break a Nazi arm,” and then go to snap it over his knee. I imagine there were WW2 vets in most neighborhoods across the country for 60 years who kinda kept a lid on this shit because they commanded respect, especially from white males.

Reply to comment by solo-ran in Burying Moses' biggest middle finger to the city? Plan to tunnel the BQE being discussed by scooterflaneuse
I think we should fund a 6+ lane tunnel with bonds purchased by Brooklyn Heights residents and charge tolls to private drivers, but not trucks.

Also, if you have kids or just want to let your inner child go wild, the New York International Children's Film Festival always has some amazing picks.

The Brooklyn Heights section is also uniquely owned by the city. I think the wealthy Brooklyn Heights residents should buy bonds to fund the tunnel/park. The completed project would benefit everyone.

The folks who voted for Adams in the primary are getting exactly what they were presented with. Why is this a surprise.

Reply to comment by WorthPrudent3028 in About 90% of drivers searched or arrested by the NYPD in 2022 were Black or Latino by mowotlarx
I thought we all know better to adjust per rate. PoC are significantly more in poverty than white people. If just scraping by is lower middle class, then sure. And what race Dominates lower middle class?/More than likely, they can't afford to pay tolls and their bills more? Would it be Latino or white? You're really being obtuse here. Usually, this conversation would have attempted to shift blame back to the "system" that there's some form of malpractice at this point and not focus on statistics. But that's the reality of most of these studies, at least from what I've read, they're all "inconclusive," and most of our data comes from institutions and their actions, not the perpetrators. There's no form of document that details the specific small details of what a driver did that might of caught an officers attention. Undocumented infractions, like swerving the lane, speeding and etc, prior to arrest. All we have is a pattern that, for the most part, can be cited back to the reality of classicism and can infer that the disparity could be due to racism

And this report

Beg to differ.
But what else can I suspect from someone who defends Kyle rittenhouse

I really wanted to include that, actually! The only issue was I was trying very hard to make sure every event was within the five boroughs of NYC. I love the idea of expanding what sports one can see being played professionally around here.

YES - I'm a HUGE Broadway fan and tried to be extremely selective in which Broadway show I would call out. I also tried to have most of the events be free or at least affordable. (Though with lottery, rush, etc., it is certainly possible to see a Broadway show for much less than the default price on the ticketing site.)
In addition to Peter Pan Goes Wrong, there's also the currently-playing Off-Broadway Play That Goes Wrong.
And if I were to promote one more Broadway show for March, Dancin' begins previews on March 2. Personally I'm counting down the days to see that one!!

I'll add one more art pick on top of yours: Cy Twombly at the Gagosian on 980 Madison Avenue.
It's a BREATHTAKING collection of late career works by him and closes March 4. Easily my favorite art show so far in 2023.
Thank you for sharing!

If “mini warehouse” means a truck occupying and blocking a bike lane, then yes.
Edit: more recent evidence of mini warehouses parked illegally

Maybe they'll scale back all the office space they planned, but I doubt it. Look forward to.them going ahead and building a bunch of office buildings that will be almost entirely empty and rat infested in the first years they open.

The city granted you a permit to build what you want on this land, but only for X years. You chose to build a house and now want to pretend that the permit wasn't temporary. Everyone will spend money on lawyers, but in the end, you had full knowledge of the situation when building the house.
