You fools wanna all pitch in & buy this fucking thing?

As someone who knows nothing about repairing roads.. why do they mill the street and then leave it in that condition for weeks before repaving? Milled roads are terrible for cars, terrible for bikes, and terrible for air quality in the surrounding neighborhood.

Is there an engineering reason as to why they cannot mill on night 1 and replace on night 2? Or is it just a logistical thing?

There's also Washington Mews with cobblestone street and a handful of other places mostly in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Then again, what's going on here happens pretty regularly so you could walk to pretty much any random part of the city and see it.

You’re the one who said absurdly high and that’s the only percentage provided so is that what you were referring to or did you mean the imaginary percentage you assume exists?

From like 1959 on St Martin's Press / Macmillan Publishing would buy empty office space when tenants would leave until by 2004 they had taken over the entire building but they left in 2019 and it's basically been empty since then.

New tenants will face higher scrutiny on their application, more discriminations especially families, units be smaller and less available units since turn over will drop dramatically bc the old tenant not leaving past their original contract term. You are lowering the turn over but still not building enough units hence screwed inventory. Not to mention owners will start to pull units from market to avoid bill to rent only word of mouth. Plus no will will want to rent to someone who may be a potential long term tenant bc the faster that person move out, faster owner can return to market and raise rent price since price increase cap don't apply. So nil incentive to have long term tenants or large units bc they outgrow faster in smaller units nor non near perfect candidates under this bill.

You know the entire forest you not seeing...

Because whiteness is not an ethnicity and it's not a culture, that's the point.

The only reason the concept of "whiteness" exists is to put it atop other groups, be they black or "yellow" or "red". If you don't believe that "white people" are inherently superior to any other group, there's literally no reason to identify as white and no reason to cling to a white "identity" as opposed to whatever ethnic groups you actually come from. This is contrasted with, say, black identity, which have a few shared narratives and experiences irrespective of where those ethnic groups called home (one of those narratives of course, being "we were taken from our urheimat against our will").

Let's pretend for a second we're not talking about ethnicity and talking about something like music. There are jazz fans, metal fans, rock fans, rap fans, country fans, pop fans, etc. It's absolutely fine to like heavy metal, it's no better or worse than jazz or pop! But let's say someone arbitrarily took pop, rap and rock music and grouped it together as "Super Music" and said those genres are inherently better than other kinds of music.

If you ran into someone who called themselves a "super music fan" instead of a "pop fan", would you not surmise that they identify as such because of a perceived superiority? That's basically "whiteness", the idea of "whiteness" emerged from racism and it has no meaning or no currency outside of the context of racism, and within the context of racism, whiteness is placed "at the top" for, again, arbitrary reasons.

Does that make any more sense?

EDIT: Also, whiteness did not begin with enslavement. It began with the ideas of scientific racism, which was used to justify slavery, but existed independently of it. For most of human history, we were fine enslaving others who looked like us, it was only in modernity that we needed justification for why it was ok to enslave people, and we came up with the psuedoscience of race and how some races were "better" than others.

My friends on the UWS picks up crazy stuff for super cheap from this app. (We clearly have a bread/bakery surplus up here).

What’s good!!

Sure it is. You have a guy locked in at price no other guy was willing to pay. You can run it again and bring out the bottom feeders or try to keep it close to his winning bid and give up a little.

Its poker math

I went last week, coincidentally. It’s beautiful but the city seems to be letting it go to the way side. They Need more funding!!

The previous owners couldn’t agree on renovations once their tenant occupying 100% of the building long term vacated.

Thank you for flagging! I just updated the post. This link should work.

I started to reply but this top comment answers it well. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEngineers/comments/gixtmf/how_do_asphalt_milling_machines_perfectly_avoid/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Not how an auction works

In what way would this not benefit new tenants?

Well paved.

It only stands to benefit existing contracts. Similar to when Unions sellout future worker benefits in exchange for boosting existing worker benefits.

that makes sense.

For a city that was once considered a central creative hub - it's so disappointing to see mocks like that reflect the dullest designs. Why can't we take some risks here? I understand there are structural considerations, but certainly, we can do better than this...

> it will allow them to gobble up more properties from smaller landlords.

How exactly?

Your objection is 100% premised on a misunderstanding of the bill, which is why I made this post.

People renting out their properties would still be able to deny lease renewals if they wanted to do something other than host a tenant — such as occupy the unit themselves, or have a family member move in.

They actually weight a whale between mileing and repaving to give utility companies a chance to repear there pipes
