Nah man, you aren't getting an A rating with those

Rat droppings found in NYC restaurants are common. It's almost inevitable.

Rats found in food is much more rare and entirely a different story though....

It’s absurd this is being framed as an NYC thing. Literally hundreds of thousands of people in the vicinity of the city are dealing with the same issues in single family homes

She didn’t have time to garden because she just had a baby!! This surely doesn’t happen in Englewood

Evidence of rats could easily be a dropping by the back door. For them to have such a rat issue that it is getting into fresh made soup, they would have been shut down a long time ago.

Gosh, you have little understanding of how things work in China.

Buying a home is what gets you a hukou in a big city. The taxes on real estate are what fund public works.

Property tax is not existent because, with very few exceptions, the government owns all of the land. Income tax is negligible in China.

…

And you keep missing the point where I keep saying that because I am elaborating on why the Shanghai system costs less, it does not mean I am praising the MTA.

What a stupid article. You can write this about anything.

THEY WANTED A BABY, NOW THEY HATE IT. “I didn’t realize how much more work it was going to be, or how dirty the work was going to be.”

THEY WANTED A CAR, NOW THEY HATE IT. “I didn’t realize how much more work it was going to be, or how dirty the work was going to be.”

THEY WANTED A RICE COOKER, NOW THEY HATE IT. “I didn’t realize how much more work it was going to be, or how dirty the work was going to be.”

Lol go figure a bunch of dorks who’ve never done manual labor in their lives found a backyard to be “too much work” go fuck your self

> once, the previous building owner suddenly appeared, saying he was there to dig up a “special onion.”

How can they just include this line without elaborating??

I once got a giant roach stuck inside a tomato slice of a salad. I complained and they told me I made it up for money. I complained to DOH and they did an inspection that landed the place in temporary shut down. They re-opened but never recovered and the place closed like 3 months later.

Never eat at a place with a C rating though. Gross. This place should be shut down too.

Always been one of my biggest fears about having a garden level or patio apartment, even having a big dog…I’m still scared of the critters lol

You’re most likely extremely fortunate as your child is far ahead of the curve.

That’s mostly likely a reflection of you having a gifted child and looking for a specific school to advance her gifts than the school curriculum for 3 and 4 year olds.

Probably need to correct your focus there.

For a simple example my child is already reading, doing simple math, and problem solving. She is leagues ahead of public school students, of whom some are still barely counting to 20( a sample of my kids friends in the neighborhood). If you keep your standards low at just colors and letters then how do expect your child to compete in the world. Theres no reason children in 3k and 4k can't understand more complex concepts. Its all about early introduction and keeping your standard above colors and popsicle art. You need to put work in to get better results. And that goes for parents too. I have a day union day job and run a small business. Im exhausted everday and still make time to read to, teach concepts, and nurture my childrens minds. More effort needs to be put in especially when I see public school teachers dropping their own kids off at my kids school.

reminds me of pret frog and chopt mouse

On one hand it does seem like the couple is money-hungry, but on the other it says health inspectors did find rat droppings at the restaurant. I don't know who to believe

> Do you need to buy a house in NYC to have a 户口 and access to the pubic services? That’s what subsidizes public transport.

I didn't have a hukou (户口本 or household registration for those who don't know what we're talking about) or property and I had access to all public services. Granted I had a work visa so I'm probably splitting hairs here lol, but that isn't the main fundraising method for the metro system. It's taxes, just like here. And government investment. So it's a moot point, insofar as mentioning hukous.

> If the income to housing cost ratio was as skewed in NYC as it is in Shanghai, we could hire migrant workers to build and repair tunnels without OT, probably it would be close.

I'm not sure if you know how much housing costs in NYC but it's skewed pretty badly. Affordability wise, it doesn't cost $20 Billion annually to have half of the trains at any given time running on a modified route or schedule and to have inconsistent service. Shanghai as a city is pretty comparable to NYC. Maybe not a direct comparison, as you already know, in terms of COL, but relatively it's very comparable.

>My qualifying my earlier statement is not the same as saying the MTA is great. Different inputs produce different results.

And my point is that in similar sizes economies, in terms of wealth generated, with similar sizes population and ridership rates, with similar funding sources, the MTA is doing abysmally in comparison.

And the Health Department is in on it too?

Very possible!

This is almost 100% of the time a money grab scam by the customers. I'm sorry, but given the track record of stories like this I have a hard time believing it.

Look for a restaurant with prior violations. Extort

When you're an innovator you can't wait for permission.

Likely the couple faked it in an attempt to extort the restaurant

Kind of weird I hear that sentiment attributed to others way more than I hear anyone actually echoing. School Safety and the NYPD sure have done a great job making MLK safe huh?
