I agree. But even moving MSG across the street would be a HUGE win for the city. Finally get to handle that mess that is Penn Station properly.

Lol most of the working class takes the train. This will effect them the least. If everyone drove into the city, nobody would be able to get there at a reasonable time.

The congestion pricing might end up making your commute better tbh.

This is incredible. Thank you so much for putting this together.

Try puting that in an NYS license plate!

I think best location would be on top of remaining unbuilt Hudson Yards land but that's probably not where it will go. There are plenty of 'dead buildings' in the area where a relocated MSG would add value. Commercial real estate doesn't have the brightest future to say the least at the moment. I bet a lot of distressed sellers will make it possible to relocate soon.

>> they won a city testing contract for something like $20 million a month and they didn't even really have a functioning lab built

>Shocker, some new company with zero assets magically wins a huge government contract. Keep an eye out for FBI charging both the company and the politician that was running the bidding process.

The trains are disgusting, wtf? If not wanting to have all my sense accosted is elitist then call me Mitt fucking Romney because there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to rise above one's circumstances.

People who own cars are richer on average than your average New Yorker, and if you can afford to pay $600+ per month for parking and $500+ a month in insurance just because you think you’re too good for the “disgusting trains” that millions of New Yorkers take everyday, then you are a privileged elitist.

I’m all for creating financial disincentives for people in Manhattan owning cars too.

If you made it so it was mostly only commercial vehicles in Manhattan, they could make their deliveries quicker because they wouldn’t be stuck in traffic, which would likely more than offset any fees that they’re paying.

Lower Manhattan wasn’t designed for cars. Congestion pricing isn’t about preventing access to the city, but rather about making people who think that they’re better than everybody else taking public transit pay for the true nuisance that they’re causing by blocking up the roads.

sorry bro, think this sub needs for fear mongering ny post articles.

Probably could but we’d be starting from scratch and that’s not really my thing. I actually never even asked to be a mod. I also think it’s possible to get things sorted out here still hopefully

Love this we need more post like this 🙂

That’s because it’s motherfucking nepotism.

Saw the play that goes wrong a while ago and thought it was hilarious!

I’m with you. Personally I think that guy needs to be written a ticket or whatever the consequences are. Just pointing out the sad world we live in. Cops don’t do anything they are ridiculed, they do their jobs writing a ticket to a black guy and they’re deemed evil.

Yeah I will say he at least is pro-pedestrian and tries to push initiatives, which is better than a lot of cronies who just sit there and collect the check

Between the subway lines, the water being Brough in from the Catskills, and the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, I don't see how it's done without being astronomically expensive.

The disconnect is that you keep switching to the word poor. Working class people in and around NYC aren't poor. There's a 15 dollar minimum wage and under the table work usually pays more per hour than that. If you are driving to get to work in NYC, you are not poor. If you were poor, you would take transit because it's much cheaper.

You think day laborers are poor? They can pull in up to 80k a year and pay no taxes. Now if you work retail for $15 an hour and can only get 20 hours a week, you may be poor, but you also aren't driving to McD's to work that job.

Yes, we have to make sure they don't do you dirty with size 6 font on the bottom while traffic is speeding by 😆.

This is a startup idea, you should create a website or something for locals and tourists alike to find things to do! Hopefully I will see my fellow nyc redditors at one of these events.

130k? Lol. 130k is wealthy. It isn't lower middle class. And all white people are rich and live in Westchester? The trades are full of working class white people. So are the NYPD and FDNY. Lol if you think every white person is Donald Trump Jr.

By the way, black median income in Queens is higher than white median income and has been since the mid 90s.

Let me put it differently. The Dominicans who have those cars aren't poor. Neither are you. Poor people aren't scamming tolls. They're jumping turnstiles.

In a nutshell

This is a amazing!! Please keep it up

This is the greatest thing I’ve seen, thank you I for your hard work

Like it's crazy to me, being Dominican and being in the heights, you're coming to me crazy like I don't see the Dominicans in dyckman with tinted out cars, fake plates doing w.e they want and always seeing Karen with her 70% tint rated windows without a care in the world driving around the boogie side of Inwood. You really think white people give a fuck about a toll that much when they live in Westchester or Warwick or some shit? Earning 130k? All I ever hear is them finding ways to "not work" in the city.
