Reply to Surge in DWI dismissals under NY ‘discovery’ reform could lead to tragedy: cops by Brolic_Broccoli
It's not just DWI drivers.
Crooked cops are also getting away with their cases dismissed because of the discovery requirements.

Thanks to the amazingly coherent radical left ideology.

For government jobs, but what about the guy that makes you lunch at the office? They’ll need to make 6 figures to live here

I’m so surprised to see cobblestones so high up in the street numbers. Wash heights is a far cry from soho, and I thought cobblestones stopped being used in the 19th century.

>I think you're prioritizing strictly what's important to you

In the end you're a bleeding heart who only considers a subset of people you personally care about, and fuck everyone else.
> material comfort
And many physical and mental health issues people like you don't care for.
Ultimately, you started the argument with (paraphrasing, dramatization) "Lol, it makes landlords squirm so obviously its good for ALL TENANTS!". I wonder who's the one who has things that are "worth thinking about".

nope. they will offer it to the runner up who will decline to close at his last best bid - probably pretty close to the 190m. he will argue that this chuckle fucker artificially bid it that high with no intent on closing, bringing him along for the ride.
in the end they will run it again

Yes because it's a mass transit station - not a homeless shelter

I know we have, like, bigger issues to worry about, and stuff, but can the city please bring back cobblestones, because they're pretty? Thanks.

Then why are the biggest landlords' lobbies pouring so much money into preventing Good Cause from passing?

Reply to Rockaway Beach's Jacob Riis bathhouse lands $47.5M for renovations | Crain's New York Business by mikeymiggz
>The development team behind renovations planned for the historic Jacob Riis Park bathhouse, following the extensive damages it suffered during Superstorm Sandy, has landed $47.5 million in financing to move ahead with the project. CBSK Developers, Brooklyn Bazaar and Aulder Capital closed on the money, split between a $32.5 million construction loan from Procida and a $15 million historic tax credit equity investment from Foss & Co. Work on the Rockaway Beach project began last month, and the developers expect to complete it by the summer of 2024.
>The bathhouse dates back to 1932 but had been underutilized for almost 50 years. It was hit hard during Superstorm Sandy, which destroyed its doors and window coverings and knocked down its courtyard wall.
>Jacob Riis Park became part of the National Park Service in 1972, and the federal agency selected events and concession company Brooklyn Bazaar to renovate the bathhouse following an RFP process. Brooklyn Bazaar and development partner CBSK inked a 60-year lease for the bathhouse with the National Park Service in October.
>The total cost of the project is estimated to be $65 million, and the developers will put up the remaining $17.5 million themselves.
>The overhaul is starting with a renovation of the building's facade, windows and turrets. The developers will also add a rooftop restaurant, a beachfront bar, ground-floor eateries and retailers selling beach supplies to the structure.
>The project will bring 28 hotel rooms to the bathhouse as well, along with a catering hall, event spaces, and a new pool and lounge areas to its outdoor courtyard. The renovations will preserve the famous Byzantine, Moorish and Moderne influences in the bathhouse's architecture. "The building has been an iconic landmark on the Queens waterfront for decades, and our restoration plan for the bathhouse will transform it into a modern beachfront hub complete with a full range of amenities for the public," CBSK Principal Scott Shnay said in a statement.

Wasn't it sold from one private owner to another? Like, what else should be done with it?
Not really sure I'd trust the city itself with buying it, renovating it, and finding tenants to lease space in it.

It's obvious what your interests are. I'm also explaining to everyone reading this thread why your title is incorrect propaganda.

You are being treated the same as other people. Your dog is not

What’s the problem? My building encourages the use of the back door when exiting the building with a dog. We can’t enter through the back door because it’s locked from the outside and only the management team/maintenance team have access. So, I exit through the back and enter through the front.
If they changed the lock and changed the policy making it mandatory to enter the building through the back door with a dog, I literally wouldn’t care because this wouldn’t change anything apart from me saying hi to the front desk staff as I enter with a dog
