Why when I'm making a cool ROI? I like it here. My sheer existence (never mind presence) irks the likes of you. I was born and raised, son. I'm not leaving!!!

My mom's house in Brooklyn (which she and my dad bought for $25,000 in '49) snookered 7 figures, too, so my share of the inheritance will fund a renovation on the kitchen, a new sidewalk, and some landscaping on the garden. My fig and crapapple trees provide nice (but now too much) shade, so I have to move the vegetable plot (kale, collards, tomatoes, potatoes) into standing planters. It'll be sweet. And guess what? You're not invited!

My mom would be 92. She used it too. . So did all my late aunts and uncles (all Brooklyn natives).

Nah. It takes years to get anything done. I made a cool hundred grand flipping my first house and my current one has gone up around $200,000 in 10 years. I get a sweet ROI. Why sell? It's safe, quiet, with parking, good schools and nice neighbors. I'll sell when I retire and leave the city.

BTW...Who's "we"? You need housing. Not me. I have a nice place with a garden and yard.

My kids (raised in Queens) say "I'm going to The city" but not "I'm going to New York".

They're about to have no leadership. Top dogs are stepping down and there's no one keen in replacing them according to the article. How is that helping anyone but the egomaniac Commissioner?

My house's value is in the fact that it's remote and low density, with ample street parking. A train would harm that. So no.

....And you get to run into burning buildings. 343 of them were slaughtered on 9/11. You insult their memory and legacy with such puerile jive.

Out in Rockaway there's lots of houses with converted garages. I see them in Forest Hills too. Lots of homes near me could have little casitas on the property that would provide housing, but I suspect that codes and regulations prevent it.

Where do you propose to expand the transit?

Out of touch elitists feeling sorry for themselves.

A school principal who hasn't taught in a classroom has to overcome suspicions of being out of touch from the rank and file. The same is true for a lieutenant in the military. There's a culture in departments. You may not like the fact or the culture in general, but it's true.

My dad was born in '25, so his dad- my grandad- immigrated to the City of Brooklyn. My aunts and uncles all still say when referring to Manhattan not "I'm going to the City" but rather "I'm going to New York".

Don't worry! That legal firecracker Tish James is on it! /s

Report them or leave the thread. Don't be a whiner.

My mom's Duane Read closed due to high theft.. Now a 90 year old woman has to hike 11 blocks instead of 4. Thanks.

Must be a burn in your craw that there's guys retired at 50 pulling in 6 figures tax free with premium health insurance, on your dime. They're laughing at you.

Oh! Reddit threads with nimrods on their computers are a trusted and reliable source. Got it!!!

So a guy doing sheetrock on a condo in Grammercy isn't going to fudge his plates. Just cops. How about firefighters and EMTs? Are they all angels?

The same is true of subway fare toll evaders. That happens on a much grander scale.

You have no way of knowing or proving that. Further, if this thread is right, all cops are from Long Island- which doesn't pay a toll to Brooklyn and Queens (where most LI cops try to get stationed).

For all the hoopla, traffic deaths haven't seen a significant change over the last 4 years. There will always be human error. No government program can insure total safety.

The deeper the station, the less air flow from the surface and platform. Add a tunnel to that and voila. High Street stinks. It always has.

I don't know why this isn't done more. The ILGWU sponsored apartments on 8th in Chelsea and Manhattan Plaza in Hell's Kitchen was sponsored by Broadway unions and guilds.

The "Build affordable housing" crowd should be focused on getting SEIU, UFT etc to do something like this. The unions have deep pension funds and members who need to live near their jobs. I don't see why this isn't more common...

Typical- if an opinion is unpleasant, make it go away...

I had fanatics in face shields yelling at me to "Put my mask on" while riding a bike on the boardwalk in Summer 2020. I'm leery of how intense the fear became.

Worse than the Great Leap Forward!
