Already is..have you seen the prices?

Some good Peruvian as well!

TIL that hibachi doesn't mean a chef cooking in front of you while doing tricks and squirting insane amounts of diluted sake into your mouth.

It’s next on the gentrification list. Every amenity within a 5 minute walking distance, authentic food, express trains to Manhattan, low crime.

They have all their money tied up in commemorative nascar 24k rimmed ceramic dinner plates.

This is a simple lie.

Do mods remove misinfo? Cause this is misinfo.

Huh, I thought Jackson Heights was one of those open secrets since I've heard about the neighborhood from my transplant friends.

No video outright proving innocence and that the accuser was lying.

It was sinply cheaper to pay a few thousand dollars to the person that fight the lawsuit.

There was no financial benefit to winning. They gain nothing

It actually makes perfect sense when looking at things from a number crunching standpoint.

Once you realize the city gains absolutely nothing by crushing people in court for these lawsuits the strategy of just settling out of court makes perfect sense.

Most of the people that make these false claims and sue are penniless so its not like you can countersue.

Don't forget the best Bengali, Nepali, Tibetan, and Colombian too!

Those cases probably just involve facts that the police don't want to come out through discovery - like a video showing the accuser is a liar while simultaneously being a record of incredibly poor behavior on the part of the officer. Otherwise I don't buy the settlements.

I was referring to the people here saying the city should litigate the worst of these cases, as if that'd be cheaper than settling them. In that sense, we probably don't disagree. My point was more that, if the city had to litigate a particularly high profile/risk case, it'd probably not be significantly more expensive for the city as compared to a normal party in a litigation.

Probably kids (teens)

Is Jackson Heights a secret? It has never been a secret as far as the years I lived in nyc. It’s just not super convenient. Best Indian and Mexican food though!

I love Jackson Heights, but the best thing would be to not tell people how amazing it is lol. Let's keep it this way.

No reason to litigate if you cit them a check. Thats how the city has handled the issue.

They have staff run the numbers and have come to the conclusion that litigation costs would be more than settlements and therefore they just settle.

How many WANT to pursue a trial? Or how many sue in general?

Either way i dont have numbers but i imagine its absurdly high.

Anecdotally ive seen lawsuits for outright lies get the person a few grand with little push back from the city even with mountains of video evidence.

This isn’t Portland. Proud boy not gonna be met with vibes and crystals here

How many do you think people are asking the city to litigate here? it was clearly quite a few, no need to be this obtuse.

Was there ever a whole wall of stone on Wall Street?

I'm obviously daft, because I just finished reading the final part of this 5-part article on the history of the wall on Wall Street, and I'm still not sure. The author makes it clear that the final wall had bastions of stone, but what about the rest of the wall? (Originally, the wall was wooden, but it underwent many changes, as mentioned in earlier parts of the article.)

I mean nothing happened, why would protesters stay?

Or in Brooklyn get one with five different cheeses for 18.

It would literally create more trials and court sessions it would absolutely cost more in tax dollars

It’s good

I did! It was pretty good but of course also pretty expensive.
