ER staff are assaulted by EDPs/mentally ill individuals daily, and hospital administrators dissuade them from filing charges (not that the cases would go anywhere in most situations anyway). It’s not easy to find people to work in these environments and maintain an unlimited level of compassion for everyone.

Theses costs are already factored in. Clearly they feel like the costs outweigh any downside, since they want their workers back in the office.

With the job market softening, that may not be the case going forward.

Their office space leases are usually negotiated for decades, so there is mostly likely no increase in spending there.

All facts.

No one said he is. There are many politicians in this city with influence that are tho. Poor and low income PoC voted for Adams in the mayoral primary overwhelmingly btw, not sure what point you’re making.

Good to know! Sounds wonderful tbh.

What about the cleanliness, harassment, etc that occurs here. How prevalent is that in Singapore?

I wonder what the state of Singapore’s subway system is in comparison to ours.

That’s what happens when our elected officials listen to the bleeding hearts who make excuses for quality of life crimes.

We shouldn’t allow posts about alleged misconduct by cops or city employees either because that’s pushing a “narrative”, as well then.

Agreed, it’s a slippery slope and needs to enforced across the board or not at all. There’s clear bias if that’s not how it’s handled.

This is probably the most reasonable argument for not banning crime posts.

He “Barely won the primary”. Yet low income PoC overwhelmingly voted for him and pushed him over the edge. The same communities that people on here pretend to champion for and claim “aren’t concerned about crime” and vehemently hate the police.

Just like we have r/Micromobilitynyc , everyone concerned about issues related to micromobility should only discuss it there. Yet that sub is consistently cross-posted here

If this is going to continue, there needs to be clear cut rules on what can be delegated to here. For example, this post was delegated to the crime thread by one mod, which really made no sense as it wasn’t an article about a specific crime, and was later allowed by another mod to be approved and posted.

I see the mod who locked that thread also deleted their post sooo.

Apparently cars blocking bike lanes are pretty serious crimes since those posts are consistently allowed.

Not to mention you’re going to be hard pressed to find people wanting to drive local busses on the overnight shift regardless of the shortage.

Looking for the “WhY aRe ThErE sO mAnY cOpS fOr OnE pErSoN” crowd.

He literally ran on a “tougher on crime” platform. That was a major part of his message and campaign, so much so that most on this sub labels him a Republican.

The communities don’t hate the police, or else they wouldn’t have voted for Eric Adams, a cop, in the Democratic Mayoral primary.

Ayy.

It’s okay the mods changed course and it was allowed now.

You need operators for those busses tho.

Many of them burn bridges with their families/friends, it’s sad but it usually starts with addiction, which leads to homelessness. These aren’t people who were dutiful members of society who suddenly lost their job and are now getting high and harassing people on the subway for money.
