>This building could easily be half for artists use on the middle floors, a jazz club on the ground floor, and upper section for boutique tech or business HQ offices, maybe a wedding venue on a floor or even a small artsy pre-K school for kids. And the rooftop could have a beautiful green space with a day coffee shop/lounge for nighttime use.

What you're describing would be a complete renovation of the building where you gut and rebuild the entire interior, on top of the cost to buy it along with navigating the complexities of heavy renovation of a landmark status building.

Not sure anything that would require hundreds of millions of dollars in upfront costs could be described as "easily" done.

Also, anyone spending that kind of $$$ would want a ROI. I don't think the artists who could actually afford a space in Flatiron 2.0 are the type you have in mind.

And as far as office space, if a startup wanted Manhattan office space, they could do a lot cheaper than whatever it would cost to rent out space in a newly renovated Flatiron Building.

Save Ferrys

Took my voucher to a different state and found a place there. that still haunts me to this day. I made it out of the Armory shelter, but I lost everyone and everything I had.

So I'm actually all for this and not a NIMBY. There is a case to be made though about congestion. Public transit in outer Queens for example is pathetic, and the area does not need more vehicle traffic. Outside the city, between MNR and LIRR those areas are covered rather well by suburban standards, but there are only few rush hour trains aren't packed as it is going in and out of the city, not to mention general congestion on local roads during rush hour for jobs that aren't based in the city.

The other thing that the city in particular must demonstrate is effectively incentivizing affordable development. All the good done by the current affordable housing program is un-done by the luxury inventory that almost always outnumber the affordable units.

Some NIMBYs will dig in their heels for a turf war, to be expected. Other reasonable ones can be persuaded to accept a plan that won't upend their way of life or their actual life itself due to displacement.

Yeah, legalizing TOD in Long Island will at least start netting us new riders.

My friend has been talking about this app for a while now and you’ve finally given me incentive to try it. Thank you

I appreciate your feedback! We understand that parking in NYC can be quite challenging. Could you share some specific concerns or experiences you've had that you think we should consider when developing our app? We'd love to hear your insights and address any potential issues.

I remember that Seinfeld episode too! Our app, is a modern and technology-driven solution designed to solve real parking problems for NYC drivers. We're taking the concept and updating it for today's world.

It’s a historical landmark. Governor Hochul will watch it burn if the new building will increase taxes.

It’s an amazing landmark that shows that any piece of land is worth money in NYC.

How did you make it out?

Thanks to BdB, it's basically impossible to build new hotels in NYC.

If 10 people on my block in the west village sign up, will you have 5 drivers ready to “move” cars Monday morning (assuming half are on the Monday side, half on Tuesday side). If not, some of those are gonna get ticketed. There’s not a place to move the car to, so, you gotta just hang around and have one driver per car for when the parking enforcement shows up (and, ideally, when the sweeper shows up, but I guess that’s “less important” if I’m using your service). Basically, I am skeptical that you can scale this service. But good luck to you!

This is why, ultimately, ESA and the third mainline track were such boondoggles.

$15 billion and basically no new riders.

Squatters rights!

Sounds like a lot of hassle for the user as you need my keys. Also an ASP ticket is $65 and monthly garage is $300 most spots so you need to be much cheaper than that.

How do you handle this?

Aka the bagel app

For real. Over some dumbass harmless photo prank from a decade ago.

i tried this app a couple years ago, went to pick up my food exactly when my pick up window opened and the entire restaurant was completely closed.

twas a colossal waste of time. will never use again.

>Scarsdale is rich town with a village aesthetic.

And 90% of Manhattan used to be farmland. It's time to grow, adapt and change. Scarsdale isn't a precious gem. They can build 180 more units of housing and survive.

Because New York state is more than NYC. Suburbs need to do their fair share. It's long overdue. Scarsdale hadn't raised the number of homes there since the 90s. It's ridiculous.

When is Ice and Vice going to reopen?

Would we be sued by the Tolkien estate if we named it "Buckleberry Ferry"?
