Nope, reverse that. Some powers are given to the feds, but the states have all the power not given to the feds.

I agree. What does that have to do with a highly flawed government program landlords don't want to deal with? Doctors are not forced to accept Medicaid. Improve the system and landlords would happily take Section 8 just like supermarkets and bodegas take SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).

Then lobby for more funding for it. The people that want things like section 8 are not the same people who want it in its current state.

I mean considering it has existed in one form or another since the 1970s I'd sure hope so.

Restaurants are not forced to sell food under some government program. Supermarkets are and gladly do as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) consistently pays out. When Section 8 gets the same reputation without the constant horror stories, please let us know.

Fun story time: last time i visited the statue of liberty i must have been about 5 or 6. all i remember is how it was hours of climbing stairs for a 20 second view out of some air plane windows and 20 minutes walking down stairs. I was so annoyed by the experience that i swore a solemn vow to never return. seems silly that i took such a vow so young. but I've never once returned.

You honestly think people buying expensive real estate in NYC for rentals had any intention of dealing with Section 8?

Oppose to the alternative embezzlement?

It’s like supporting a crack addict.

It's called a legal obligation. I know landlords only like using that word when it comes to things that benefit them, but in some cases renters do in fact have rights, and you are in fact legally obligated to abide by them. If you get 400 applicants and decide to take someone with higher income that's one thing. If you do what a lot of landlords do and keep properties posted until they find someone with a preset income threshold and refuse to even consider voucher tenants? Scum of the earth.

“An overwhelming majority of New Yorkers appear to want Albany Democrats to overhaul bail reform, a new poll shows — giving Gov. Kathy Hochul ammo for budget talks to try to force more change.

Seventy-two percent of Empire State residents support giving judges more discretion to set bail for those accused of serious crimes — with a breakdown of 76% of Democrats, 71% of independents and 69% of Republicans, according to the Siena College poll.

Related changes were supported across every demographic covered by the survey of 802 registered voters. The poll had a margin of error of 4.6%, including race, sex, religion, religion, and geography.

Almost all New Yorkers – 92% – believe crime is “very serious” or “somewhat serious” of a problem statewide, while 65% say the same about their own community.

The 65% of black New Yorkers who favor more judicial discretion were the smallest majority of any group.

“For more than a year, at least 90% of voters have said crime is a serious problem in the state, at least 60% say very serious,” Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg said.”

More like will grift with pride. Blowing weed smoke into taxpayers faces.

Some powers are reserved for the states but the supremacy clause makes clear that the federal constitution and federal laws take precedence over state laws and constitutions.

If we can use the interstate commerce clause to regulate commerce that stays completely within one state as SCOTUS says we can, then in reality the rest of it all bullshit.

Who is upvoting this dumbass, ignorant shit?

This is why ppl hate the idea of CP. Robbing drivers to support the MTA’s bad habits.

And tbh they’re not even pretty. With that money we should be getting Moscow level decoration at least.

Issue of equity? Here comes the white savior...

Yes

When I was there MTA had some pretty cool banners inside subway cars they commissioned illustrators to do. Would definitely love to work with them or within NYC if the opportunity ever came.

Pass what you're smoking

same, but for what we pay in taxes we can afford to have our cake and eat it too

Very cool

This can be MTA train art. Its dope. Im saying that ina good way. I love train art.
