It's all grandstanding and will continue until Dems regain the house in 2024.

For real. I'm surprised they answer the phones.

Is there a beta?

It’s really tragic that you feel you cannot ask it IRL. And that’s just another symptom of a deeper problem I’ve been noticing.

In my opinion, one of the biggest damages caused to society in modern times happened because of white people (mostly politicians) who were acting or being omissive because of shame or guilty.

Sweet Idea but I saw this episode of seinfeld

lmao. I see them waving at people they know as those people jump the turnstiles.

They could not care less. Literally.

Great idea but I’m not sure if you’ve ever actually parked in NYC 😂

The ticketed seating area shuts down after the last Amtrak departure of the night, which is currently around 9 PM. LIRR of course is 24/7, so if you go to a game at MSG you have to stand around until your train instead of sitting in a waiting room like a civilized human.

The runner up doesn’t really want it and couldn’t believe the winner bid as high as he did with all the renovations that need done. So it may go up again, who knows? It will be interesting to see.

I just hope whoever does end up with it respects the history and cultural importance of the building and takes care of it.

I live in Boston, that looks more like bricks. The "Cobblestones" here look like a mix between busted up curbs stone or straight up rocks

>I think six figures is a bit of an exaggeration

My friend pays his nanny $90,000/yr.

The solution is to build more housing (we need to build a heck more to make a difference), so that there’s no scarcity premium and everyone can pay market rates when renting or buying their own house.

Tenants should ideally be the short term only. Anyone who wants long term housing security should ideally own their own home: the ultimate solution.

But again, for that to be possible, we need a lot more housing supply.

You nailed the reason why we have this legacy of artificially lower cost housing: to subsidize artificially cheap labor.

Such legacy goes back in history when employers would directly provide housing to their employees, and obviously that would come with even lower wages, or even “free labor”.

In reality, the multiplicative gains of a high density economy should allow even low skilled work to be paid a lot more compared to a lowers density location. But the distortion in the housing market basically perpetuates a distortion in the labor market.

Linguistic Prescriptivism isn't and has never been real.

There are a bunch of Metro North and LIRR stations in towns that ban multifamily housing. As much as I would love only The City building housing, it's a waste of the commuter rail infrastructure for these towns to ban environmentally friendly transit oriented development and lifting restrictions would allow for more choice for would be homeowners and renters.

Some may consider that having a place to live is a human right. And reasonable people may have a reasonable debate about that.

But it takes a very narrow worldview and ideology to believe that having a place to live in one of the most expensive cities in the world should be a human right.

Depends on the city, too. Why are most of Brooklyn and Queens zoned for low-density buildings (i.e., a couple of stories) only, when demand is insanely high?

Oh

Titanic 2

and nearby Sylvan Terrace!

Thank you for a voice of reason. No where in any of my comments did I claim anything but the facts. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought asking whether this was a wild virus or vaccine derived polio virus was an important question to be asking.

Oh god no. Please not this
