Reply to comment by SealEnthusiast2 in MTA Doubles Down on Construction Costs by michaelmvm
Too much money went into Eastside Access! I wonder if they are recovering costs at all. Took the inaugural ride, expected lots more people, but wonder what daily ridership is like. Most people get no reprise from taking the train from Jamaica to Grand Central.
Has anyone ridden the new train?

Reply to comment by supermechace in Ex-homeless tenants face mass eviction by Lower East Side landlord by natekrinsky
Good question. I'll ask next time he brings it up. He is a longtime close friend but makes 40x my income so I don't want to be nosy.
The point is, in 2023 NYC "six-figures" doesn't mean what it used to.

Reply to comment by IronyAndWhine in Passing Good Cause Eviction would NOT make it harder for landlords to evict tenants for non-payment by [deleted]
The downside to shitting on landlords is that they will make sure that shit rolls onto tenants. Limiting security deposits to one month, for instance, has forced tenants with bad credit histories into shittier housing stock where the landlords have no choice but to accept lower credit scores. Before, they could put up two or three months of security so the landlord would look past their credit scores. (If you're asking why someone would have a shitty credit score but three months of security deposits, the answer is generally undocumented persons or persons working under the table.)
Making it harder to evict non-paying tenants will only exacerbate the effect. With only one month of security deposit and a one-year minimum for evictions, landlords will require stricter credit scores and income qualifications.

don't worry the union will come up with a reason as to why it's safer for them to sit all day on their phone and get paid instead.

Reply to Trump supporter charged with pulling knife on family with children outside Manhattan courthouse by newzee1
My gut reaction was to wonder how stupid someone needs to be to threaten a family with a knife, outside a court, in plain view of officers. Then I remembered this is someone who answered Trump's call to arms.

Except fixing the signals requires skilled labor. Can't just have a booth clerk fix hardware.

Here's a picture so you don't have to click the link and watch a video.
Connor Lian, 16, was last seen in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral around 5:00 p.m. before he became separated from his family, authorities said.
Lian responds to the nickname “Red.”
He’s 5 feet 6 inches tall. Lian has brown eyes and black hair and was last seen wearing a gray puffer coat, a black long-sleeved shirt, brown shoes, and tan golf half with the “121st U.S. Open – Torrey Oines” logo.

Booth clerks aren't law enforcement so what do you realistically expect them to do?

Too sterile of a color theme. No soul compared to existing MSG.

Also w/ the rest of baseball season, you’ll have to figure out the Yankees games that exclusively air on:
-
Apple TV+ for Friday Night Baseball. (2 games)
-
ESPN (2 games).
-
Amazon Prime Video (iirc around 20), or sometimes on TBS (2 games, inc. one Subway Series).
-
Fox (local channel), sometimes separate on FS1 too, ~7 games combined.
YES doesn’t broadcast or cover those, but for those who already have a cable package that includes them (me), great news. Also good news if you already have MLB.tv for free (T-Mobile, also me), so you wouldn’t miss out on them.
I did hear about it on the Michael Kay show yesterday on radio (& saw on DVR on YES), MSG network’s supposed to have a similar one for summer, a bit more expensive, and in theory not much to see. Only benefit with this one is that if you choose to subscribe month to month or yearly, there’ll be more programming w/ Nets games, Yankees games, NY Liberty, some golf & college sports games, AC Milan games, and more.

She is Jewish, from Ukraine. As a good chunk of Brighton Beach. And Soviet Jews are MAGA supporters.

So it’s the same price as MLB.tv but instead of every mlb game you get only Yankees games?
I suppose if you’re in the city, where they’d be blacked out, this is a solution over cable. But man, feels like they’re putting the screws to you charging the same price as it would cost to get essentially every live game for every team.

>In the last ten years they built a ton of apartments In white plains and it's still expensive as hell to live there.
What do you think housing costs are gonna be if nothing's built like wealthy Westchester residents seem to want?
>If people think they are going to build low income housing in a village with a household median income of 150k good luck with that. Not even the democrats in Scarsdale want this let alone the republicans
Wow, rich Democrats and Republicans supporting housing segregation by class? I'm shook.

That's what the bulk of the NYPD's budget is going to; genetically engineering officers to be able to bend and snap together to make MEGA OFFICER

Streetview to the rescue. It looks like they were actively putting it up in October 2019. It wasn't there at all in June 2019.

> Aren't train stations supposed to be places where people are in motion (going in or out), and not necessarily hanging around?
With this logic, airports shouldnt have seats either.
