Yup shift work and 24s

Printer go brrrr....

You can, actually. If street parking is only available to residents, then people who drive in from the suburbs, which is the majority of cars in the city, are forced to use expensive garages, and therefore might stop driving altogether. And if the number of permits issued is equal to the number of spots available, then you're also eliminating people circling for parking.

> for one thing, so rats are a bit less likely

Being on the second floor is hardly a barrier for NYC rodents.

Staten Island = cops and firefighters. Insane overtime and 24 hour shifts...

Eww. Me and my man went to this high star more than thousand yelpers & Google rave about this Flushing restaurant by Main Street- Shanghai You Garden. I sat down eating when a roach crossing our table. Another bigger roach was walking towards me from clear division between tables for Covid protection. My man attempted to take it out but in process it landed very close to my bag. I screamed and ran away from my table. Other customers already saw and heard my concern. No one seems to be bothered even my man. I told him I do not have appetite anymore and I’m not eating. He finished his food and enjoyed the crispy duck on bun just like the couple next to our table. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Without a boarding pass, yes?

Ugghhhh nature is ruining my own private manicured park!!

Here’s a link to how you can accurately test your drugs for fentanyl including pressed pills because that’s also a misconception! Happy to help keep folks up to date and informed about the crisis.

Interest rates are high in the context of the past decade, but not so much in the context of the last century.

The St Louis Fed has this chart of the fed funds rate going back 70 years, and where we're currently at is still fairly low.

To be honest, when mulberries are in season, it’s a constant rain of purple fruit that stains everything and gets slimy underfoot. Not to mention the purple bird shit everywhere.

Lol, what? I disagreed with a residential parking permit idea and suddenly I insist on mediocrity over progress? Slow down there. "Everything is so damn slow and expensive in this city" and yet along with London we're the economic engines of the world. It's precisely the "every other city does this" attitude that has stifled innovation in American cities the past quarter century. Once we do what every other city does we become every other city.

It’s a confusing expression for non-native speakers to get the negatives right

Personally I don't care about the $1 fee for the card. Its finding out at the worst possible time the card is expired. And the MTA is hoping people will just throw it away instead of transferring the value to a new card.

Why do you find this hard to believe? This is one of the most famous and genuinely performed swindles out there. You think that planting a rat from some bag is a limit that people might go to for a lot of money?

The $1 metrocard fee amortized over many months is negligible. The free transfer to bus is interesting as you now get more value with the base fare. But most people don’t use the transfer and you essentially have to buy it.

I’m going to factor in in a subsequent post the pay-per-ride bonus which should make the curve from 1998 to today even flatter.

I’d imagine probably insane commutes combined with having family duties and children.

This ignores the modern free transfers from subway to buses and buses to subway. The 2 fare zone mattered if you had to pay it. Also I don't have to pay $1 for a MetroCard with an expiration date if I use a credit card.

And fares is an oversimplified way to look at the value of transit. The subway increases economic activity where ever it runs, which increases tax revenues and land values in general and its only fair some of that funnels back into the transit system.

Is that better or worse than a live rat?

We have zoned spots for delivery. They're called hydrants

Yes, it's inflation adjusted. But it's the cost to ride, not the per customer cost to operate. It's missing the second graph, the subsides provided by the government.

They were 0 when it started. It's absolutely not anymore. The MTA says fares only make up 23% of their budget. So MTA wide, the cost per ride is $11.96.

That $1.75 at the start was more than the cost per ride (since they were private companies with some amount of profit). The $2.75 for today is a tiny fraction of the cost.
