> Davey said the metal and glass enclosures will not be removed but workers can return there during breaks or whenever they see fit.

You're almost there man.
They are supposed to be in the booths during their breaks. When not on their breaks, they are supposed to be out on the platforms

Why would a station agent stand out on an empty platform at all hours? The article clearly says they can return to their booths when they'd like.

Now there are more people on the platforms alone at all hours. Come on man, I know you can use that brain a little bit to make the connection. You got this.

Here's a comparison of the increase in violent felonies across those cities during 2022 compared to 2021: https://imgur.com/a/YbvYifw
If your hypothesis linking of Covid to crimes depends on the economy, you can look at the economy directly. Poverty in the US dropped to 20-year lows (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PPAAUS00000A156NCEN) during Covid. That puts a dent in the supposed link between economics and crimes nationwide.
But crimes, in NYC at least, climbed to 20-year highs for some crimes.

It won’t be ran at all. All the working class people are retiring or cannot afford to live here anymore. City hates us

Try telling that to bootstraps Reddit. They all think NYers have been rich/well off salaried $60K+ workers when in reality most of New York’s working class is barley doing $50K. Rents randomly going up thousands & our city giving development funds to private developers putting luxury housing in poor neighborhoods. NY is fucked

When they get the de-icing salt tracked in there, it's like a soapy film, slippery as hell.

Allow exceptions for the small home owners and I’d be more for it

They may be lazy, but they aren't NYC employees.

Just fucking get rid of them. Their role has not be useful in YEARS - for an agency who cries for money every time the sun rises it would be nice if they actually looked internally and eliminated useless ass roles

There’s got to be some solution. This isn’t just about the homeless. People vital to keeping the city running are being priced out of the city. Teachers, cops, fire fighters, EMT workers, you name it. All the cashiers in all the stores.. think they can afford to live here? I work full time and I have a side hustle and I can only afford to be here because I’m renting from a family friend. I knew someone. That’s all. I hear all the arguments against Good Cause Eviction protections but then, how will this city run if all the people who run it can no longer be here?

Once again NYC architects continue to push the obsession of soulless white architecture in a city that tracks dirt and grime everywhere. Floor will be permanently stained pretty quick just like WTC path platforms.
WTC oculus is the perfect example to be honest. Has no soul. No life. No personality. It’s bland, blinding white marble flooring, white walls, white roof, and white LED lights’ all meld together. The building’s purpose is to funnel you into luxury stores to spend money and take vapid photos for social media. Public transit entrances/exits conveniently hidden away by stairs as if some physiological ploy. No green space. No lounge space. Then just outside you have the beautiful memorial. The perfect juxtaposition of good design and crappy design.
Singapore Changi airport is what NYC architects design aspirations should be aimed towards for a transportation hub.

They aren't law enforcement, they're station agents. Not their job.
