Personal attacks for peacefully expressing an opinion? Real tolerant and mature of you. I’ll pray for you.

Couldnt have said it better myself friend

Lots of hostility here but no arguments to even bother making your point. He’s a child of immigrants who came to America for a better life and struggled, raising someone of high moral values who came from nothing and rose through the ranks to serve the community.

However, I’m not petty and won’t insult you for not liking him, its your right to have your opinion. Have a nice day.

Can you actually bring some counter points to the table or are you just babbling with nothing to contribute to this discussion?

Edit: I genuinely want to hear what is so bad about George Santos, I wish I could have voted for him in my district.

So? Not like democrats didn’t use fraud to obtain their current positions. They should be focusing on the purge literally happening daily in the streets, not a patriot who made a few mistakes

So communism? They don’t deserve it, they aren’t skilled at all

Did any looting occur?

I was referring to property taxes (which generally fund public salaries), but I didn't know that. Thank you.

You're doing the exact same job, for a lower salary (adjusted for inflation), and a lower retirement package. You are sustaining tiers 1, 2, 3, and 4 while they no longer pay into the plan, and they are getting the long end of the stick. You get far better returns in a 401k, and no public job offers 403b matching.

"Guaranteed annual raises" = "1% raise, 3% if you get the best rating in the organization".

Its not a fair system, but it had to be done, because NYS and other states are realizing the pension system is NOT sustainable, but they are obligated to do whatever it takes (including fucking over current public employees) to fund those who have retired and moved to Florida, not even paying NYS taxes anymore, who are earning 100k+ a year on a pension.

Pension is tier 6 that isnt worth shit

Doesnt matter. They agreed to lower salaries and less flexibility for benefits they PAID into. You cannot promise x in lieu of y and then give them z.

Acid isn't addicting, nor are shrooms. You're misguided. Its even less addicting than weed and nicotine, a once in a while experience.

Thats what right-wingers say when you can’t afford basic necessities. Except this time, you’re trying to steal from someone else, who is likely not a rich elite themselves. Stop hurting your fellow humans.

Also, have fun renting forever. Or not, as evictions on your record will never allow you to rent again from any landlord who gives a shit.

So when two parties mutually sign a lease contract, you expect the landlord to hold up their end of the bargain (provide the domicile, keep it in operating order, pay property taxes, maintenance, and other agreed upon terms in the lease like heat/hot water), and keep the rent the same for x months or years.

Yet you think tenants should not adhere to the contract they agreed to?

When housing courts are backed up, what happens when a landlord isn't adhering to their end of the bargain? Landlords are taking advantage of this as well, why do you think so many issues like rodents are never dealt with?

A "shit business model" would be buying a property for way above what it can rent for, and then not finding tenants that can afford the rent. Not contractually-obligated tenants to skip out on paying, due to the government intervening and essentially modifying a legally binding contract.

And the tenants wouldn’t be bumming off a landlord if they were in any position or state of mind to buy, so that is a moot point. Or you just want people to give up their property for free that they paid for, is what you’re saying.

You sound like the NYPD.

Prior to the pandemic, there was no eviction moratorium. While it still took a while to evict (which shouldn't be the case if its unreasonably long).

"Most LLs who got hurt by the pandemic were small time LLs relying on the tenants to pay their mortgages, which is bad business anyway" so you'd rather big corporations own huge buildings and hundreds of units, just because they can weather over a "rainy day"?

The courts are backed up to hell, there is no justice for LL's atm.

PPP isn't for a landlord renting out a few-unit building or a house...

What about the eviction moratorium? You literally could not evict people for years, and even prior to COVID, NYC is a tenant-friendly city. Imagine evicting someone after 2 years and not even getting back-pay since they don't have any assets to seize via court. And at the same time, you are paying maintenance, prop taxes, and still have to service them as a landlord.

Literal theft.

There's a reason now you need to make x amount the rent because they don't want broke asses who can barely afford the rent deciding to spend the money elsewhere.

Okay, then don't rent in the building. Thats the point, freeloaders are ruining it for landlords & everyone else trying to get into an apartment that isn't a bum and is willing to pay.

Sure. No one is putting a gun to your head and making you rent them. Plenty of luxury new buildings to rent in.

Good thing all the tenants have been putting at least half of the money they’d be spending on rent into a savings account for the last 3 years. They should easily have a nice cushion to rent a new place or a down payment in NYC/greater NYC area.

Right?

if not a death sentence or life in prison - the guy that pushed her needs to be sentenced permanently to a mental institution where is isolated from the world 24/7 in a confined room with zero windows and chance for escape. Deliver his food and water via the wall slots with zero human interaction. Clearly he is incapable of feeling anything, including empathy, so it isn't a punishment, but rather a safeguard for society & the institution housing him.

here we are a year later. barely any policy changes. yes more nypd on the subway & stations - but for how long? and where are the barriers at subway stations that would prevent so many deaths from pushing? so many falls? medical emergencies where people fall onto the tracks?

a productive, tax paying, HOMELESS HELPING, member of society is dead because we place such a high value on the life and feelings of the type of person who murdered her. We have a good person in society, dead. And a bad person, not only alive, but being sustained by the tax dollars of other productive society members.

Is that what your physician said?

You get less sick, show less symptoms, sneeze and cough less, and generally get over the illness faster. All of the above symptoms that are lessened, certainly contribute to the spread of covid. So in short - it does reduce transmission, and the vaccine is highly safe & effective considering the circumstances surrounding its development.
