Attendings are far more efficient than a resident. What takes 2 interns and a senior resident on the floor can be done by a single attending in the same time.

I know people hate calling the cops but just call the cops (NYPD). If you feel weird calling then go to the local police station and report it. I’d do it but I’m not local to Brooklyn. Thank you for caring about this!

Nothing you said was correct lmao.

Doctors can be licensed after completing 1 year of training. They can then leave at any time and practice. Furthermore, program transfers are incredibly common. I had three surgeons transfer into my radiology program.

Article misses the obvious conclusion. The public sector is filled to the brim with incompetent bureaucrats who have little expertise in their field. The public sector is required to look at private companies to solve their problems.

How quiet or noisy are these building conversions? Can you hear neighbors stomping upstairs or blasting stereos?

The only coding they can do is changing the zoning codes to residential. Good luck with that as the price is prohibitive to gut and convert a building. Not to mention hire lawyers, accountants architect lobbyists etc. It may be cheaper to just demolition the whole building and start from scratch.

Why is this the federal taxpayers problem?

How about we do both? If Farebeating isn’t stopped the problem will get bigger. People seeing other people not face any accountability for farebeating will cause more people to farebeat

The MTA has more management than it needs

Tell me more about these “consultants”?

Well it's never going to end because most consultants have personal or political ties either ex management or someone who paid enough in campaign donations for the contract

They can afford it. I have no sympathy for real estate owners or landlords

You make some points but also have the underlying assumption of zero office tenants. With all the cost and devaluation of that work it might even be worth it for the owners to just hold on at 20-30% occupancy and hope the offices gradually fill back up. Plus, if the space is vacant they get tax breaks so the hit is not as bad.

Again, not saying it’s impossible but with a 100 million dollar investment owners will do everything they can to get that back before cutting bait and spending money on a reno.

It’s actually not the consultants gone wild. It’s that society hates the public sector and makes it impossible to operate normally - instead of building expertise with civil servants people treat any sort of governance (and knowledge) with hostility.

200 million is still 200 million

They found human bodies too and they never caught anyone. Unfortunately, I think you're right about the chances of this one particular animal abuser to be found.

Discussions. Discourse. That’s why i politely asked your opinion. Why escalate to argument?

i live too far to do anything but community effort in these cases can mean a lot. there's some people in the neighborhood i live in that organize feeding spaying and counting of the neighborhood cats. takes care of them and probably deters crime like this --

just seeing ppl suggest nypd and i think...that's not a great option unless you already have a lead.

Good, as the first fucking good news I’ve ever heard in a long while fuck the MTA. Let them 🪦

Nope just walk in and go to the bathroom

So what crazy person isn’t just gonna chuck shit into that while someone’s doing their business. Eric Adams is a train wreck.

I saw a post recently in the Astoria subreddit about some lunatic putting thumb tacks / push pins in the dirt, pointy side up, for animals or people to step on. Absolutely psychotic.

Just in case, try the MTA’s lost and found. They’re at Grand Central Station. Hope you’ll find your ring!
