I don't like the naming. I don't like the NOI. but these are fairly elected people naming things with what I assume to be community support. He is from that area it makes sense for them that the most prominent figures from THAT neighborhood be remembered.

I never suggested eye-for-an-eye ... really interesting that your mind took you there.

But lets be honest how is this any different than a confederate flag. Which is arguably more extreme!

This is selective outrage. A different set of moral standards for black people.

As far as I know Elijah never took over any countries or tortured thousands of people right? Please correct me if i am wrong.

As a nyer we live amongst many cults include the falon gong who we let go on with their shen yun performances in peace...

> Out of 152 hospitals in the state, patients scored Maimonides the worst in multiple categories, including “patient’s room and bathroom always kept clean,” “patients always got help as soon as they wanted,” “nurses always communicated well” and “staff always explained about medicines.” Also, patients are more likely to have complications like bloodstream and antibiotic-resistant staph infections than at an average hospital, according to the federal Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, which gave the facility two out of five stars.

Fuuuuuuck this place. Nothing but bad experiences here over the years.

Did those 5000 units get built ?

> NYC doesn't need to give companies hundreds of millions of dollars to create a few thousand new jobs

If it was only a few thousand, there wooldn be no tax break

Not to mention, NYC gives TONS of tax incentives for jobs, I don't understand why Amazon , which per job was significantly less than most tax break given, really bothers you?.

> Happens organically

Are you loving under a rock? Businesses are leaving and only keeping small offices in NY, outside of finance and core tech.. except tech is more wfh .. both commercial and job paying base is being eroded and has been since before the pandemic

You isws to HAVE to have big outposts in NYC to complete for the talent and Inperson stuff, you don't need either for many industries anymore

> Does Amazon even pay taxes

Well, if they don't, then there's no tax break to be had, so no benefit anyway ?

Howard lorburg, one of NYC biggest developers > we haven't started a new project since before the pandemic in NY, it's all SE

Kevin O'Leary on Friday: NYC/NJ is now investible. Why would we put any dollars there when we're getting pushed out for creating new jobs, corruption is high, regulatory hurdles are enormous, and everyone wants handouts to get anything done .. we don't need to buy in NYC to capture the talent pool, and people want remote, so we don't need to operate there of people don't want to come there

I had the pleasure of interacting with him in his role. If he sat at home and did nothing it would've been better. Instead he was actively ignorant. An event was planned, security was in place, and this guy would storm in and do it "his way", which was objectively stupid. Full broadcast corrupt incompetence.
