Reply to New York’s MTA Hates Transparency by psychothumbs

I won’t pretend to understand the full nuance of what is no doubt a very complex issue, but as somebody who rides the trains every day, I can say that our public transit is shockingly bad for what is supposed to be the wealthiest city in the wealthiest country in the world. My impression from a few years of daily riding is that our trains are generally disgusting, inefficient, and probably badly mismanaged.

Reply to comment by DarkMattersConfusing in NYC teachers union’s workshop on ‘harmful effects of whiteness’ canceled after influx of ‘hate’ by someone_whoisthat

It's the only acceptable form of "White Saviourism" in the Modern Age.

As "allies," these obviously "privileged" and "virtuous" upper-middle-class white folks will save all of us from prejudice.

All while assuring us that DROPPING standards for "brown people" and "Colored People-sorry-I meant-People of Color," is definitely the way forward for them.

I reject "Person of Color" or "Brown Person" or "Black Person," from these condescending "Progressives." It's another way to say the "N-Word," in my book and it's supremely hypocritical of them to treat us like we CAN'T do it ourselves, can't succeed, can't do math, can't read, can't show up on time, etc.

Disgusting!

Reply to comment by Titan_Astraeus in New York City is absolutely gorgeous by ProGamerMatt

I just read an NYT piece about NYC landmark buildings, and I'm not usually interested in architecture all that much but I'm so fascinated by the types of architecture there is in one city, and they're all so beautiful and with interesting stories, too. It's a dream for me to go there one day.

Reply to Ex-homeless tenants face mass eviction by Lower East Side landlord by natekrinsky

>But after their leases expired, the landlord did not give the tenants the option to renew their agreements and rents went up by about $700, residents said. The landlord, 67 Pitt Realty LLC, filed to evict all 11 residents in January after residents stopped paying rent. The residents now say they are at risk of returning to shelters, pointing to gaps in the city's safety net programs and tenant protections.

This is why we need Good Cause Eviction protections. Please use this link to urge your elected representatives to support the bill: https://housingjusticeforall.org/our-platform/good-cause/
