> There were only 12,750 textiles employees in the US in 2021, of course there aren’t 150k just in Manhattan.

We also agree there aren’t 150,000 textile jobs in Manhattan today.

I had friends that lived at 200 water street, which was a conversion. There's definitely some quirks since the building has windows going around the entire outside so walls get put right up to the glass. You can kind of see it in the bathroom pickutet in this listing.

Overall it's not too bad and you only really notice it when it gets pointed out to you.

n 2022, FDNY said there were 191 fires, 140 injuries, and six deaths from lithium-ion fires in the city.

Also Friday, Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh held a public safety briefing, giving an update on the increasing number of lithium-ion battery-related fires. "It is alarming and dangerous. That's why I am urging all New Yorkers to take a closer look at what they are buying to ensure the items are certified by UL or another testing and certification company."

The New York City Council is considering bills to address lithium-ion battery safety, with the FDNY already agreeing with the language. The bills include prohibiting the sale and assembly of second-hand batteries that have been assembled or reconditioned, and requiring mobility device batteries to be listed and labeled by a nationally recognized testing laboratory or other approved organization to be sold.

It is absolutely financially viable to sell or rent a space that is receiving 0 income otherwise. It's just not what they want.

The places don't need lots of work to turn into apartments. They need lots of work to turn into lots of apartments.

There is a point between "leave it almost as is and rent out as many units as there are existing bathrooms" and an extreme retrofit to maximize the number of units that becomes worth it. The former scenario is still better than getting nothing.

We can both agree that there are more garment industry jobs in the garment district than you expected.

Thank you for bringing awareness to this. I volunteer for them and this is truly devastating. Someone is definitely harming these babies and it’s going to keep happening unless we catch them or hopefully scare them into hiding.

You're welcome. I know AMA Animal Rescue in Brooklyn rescued a dog named Sasha as her breeder was off to sell her 7 puppies.

You can contact the rescue! Their IG is puppykittynycity. They’re looking for people to distribute flyers in the area. You can also donate to them directly because the care of these cats is insanely expensive. One has already cost 7k in vet bills. Another had to be euthanized today :(

> The FiDi ones that were converted had the floorplates to do so

IDK dude, there are some seriously funky apartments in FiDi lol very long, winding hallways to get to a window.

To add a bit more. They went into a employee only area in order to find the individual they wanted to attack. Which is why the surviving brother is facing burglary charges of his own.

Understood. :) Thanks, interesting info.

Yeah, because Manhattan used to be an industrial hub. But then it got too difficult to move all of the manufactured goods across the Hudson and everyone moved their operations to New Jersey or elsewhere. There are a lot of modern manufacturing companies that were founded in NYC between 1870 and 1930.

As someone who works in manufacturing, the number of textiles factories I expected to see in the garment district was 0, not 20+ lol.

Nope! She is in Harlem. Kristin Richardson Jordan is not in a "Jewish" district.

She knows what she's doing and it's still grotesque. She wants to be in the papers.

It's not an unpopular opinion to visit Times Square if you're a tourist. Thats what the place is for. some people come from places that dont even have buildings over 10 stories.

Yeah.... I think I worded it wrong. I've never heard of a good breeding story.

It’s been a steady decline for a long time. I’ve read that at its peak (a long time ago), there were about 150,000 garment industry jobs in the neighborhood.

I'm not sure how to search for what you said, but I think what you said was that "breeders usually abuse animals". Maybe you meant "breeders also abuse animals"?
