Anyone from any group who spews hate -towards any group- should be a matter of concern.

Is the city willing to buy and renovate it?

??? The non Jewish population of NYC is overwhelmingly Roman Catholic. I'm a native and with the exception of a few Scandinavians in Bay Ridge, have never met a native born WASP New Yorker. Since this is the UFT, and since it's about educators in the NYC public school system, whatever the "Dominant" history in America may be (and we disagree), it's not "White Protestant" here.

The gist is that you were trying to associate covid and crimes.

I get that you’re saying it’s not the sole cause, but even if factually true (your statement would still be technically true if Covid was not a cause at all), it’s still misleading in the overarching context of the conversation.

Even in the US, Covid didn’t hit every city at the same time. The staggered manner in which Covid hit US locations can be used to show a causal relationship of Covid and Crimes, if that exists. However there’s basically no evidence of that.

In fact, NYC got Covid waves earlier than most cities. But even in 2022 we had crimes still rising in NYC faster than other big cities like LA, Chicago and Miami.

How is it not an attack? What else am I supposed to conclude? If it wasn't a problem, we wouldn't need a seminar in how to deal with it, no?

I don't hear Latin people using it. And my friend is dating a Quebecoise. Note the feminine "E". Masculine is Quebecois. We don't get to change other peoples' languages to suit our sensibilities. Sorry.

Agreed.

But said housing does not have to be in the most expensive city in the world. You can house way more people up state and provide more services for the same budget.

There is literally no reason to house them in NYC. They are from NYC? Beggars can't be choosers - otherwise you introduce perverse incentives.

ha - is that the one with like the black ramen?

went to Okiboru for the first time the other day - the tsukemen was great! need to try the regular one now

ohhhhhhhhhhh

Solving homelessness has to involve housing the homeless.

They are addicted to outrage and self-righteousness. Ironically, they fuel the far-right directly and endanger the disadvantaged groups they claim to care about as a result.

Solving homelessness doesn't have to involve housing them in the most fucking expensive piece of real estate in the country.

It's people like you who care less about homelessness and just want to stick it to people who are better off than you.

I'd easily support a bill where NYC raised my taxes to house homeless upstate where land is cheaper and get them in programs to help them integrate back in society. But not this shit.

I wasn't ever a sk8ter Boi in my younger years but I do remember this place as the Mecca of skateboarding in NYC back in the days passing by it often

Really fine bar painting.

This isn't hard. If someone has murdered someone in the past or committed violent assaults, and they appear in court having done that SAME crime AGAIN, they should not get a little quick bail out and go moseying around the streets. This isn't hard.

Since when did living in NYC become a right?

But that's besides the point. You are too focused on the needs of one group of people.

What happens when there are no price signals in the market? Who determines where who lives? The corrupt NYC government?

What happens when capital flows out of real estate and no one builds anymore because you capped rental increases? Where are new people coming to the city going to live?

What happens when you limit rent increases to the point it doesn't cover taxes, utilities, or maintenance? What, LLs just going to eat the loss? Print money in their basement?

There are so many factors and stakeholders that advocates like you gloss over.

Millionaires don't want to smell Bayonne.

God, I miss living there.

It is so sad that I assumed she was GOP cause the daily news is the publication posted (would've been NY Post if she was a dem), and I was right.

It shouldn't be this predictable.

Grifters get their start somewhere.

Government service seems like a good place to start.

Next the race track. Then the casino.

I can see my apartment building in this!

Now I can't unsee that lol

plus if you ask to be comped for subway fares they just take it out of your paycheck at a “slightly reduced” rate lol
