gotcha dev still got what they wanted....more units and city to cover the bill for increased affordable units at a tbd mechanism.

The new 700ish units are to be funded by city by a TBD mechanism. Key word tbd.

Won actually lost. They just don't realize yet. She moved away from her 55% red line. Her NIMBYs lost bc more units to be built. Unless they increased size of building which I see no mention, smaller units to make up increased # of units.

Devs gain more units on site and city paying for all the units from 25% affordable housing to new number.

Won barely edge more concessions from counter proposal of 40% affordable at original amount of units and city funds

Hope you know Won still didn't get that 55% she wanted and settled for 5% higher that was counter proposed at 40% with city funds and this new round adds more apt units to be built on site to achieve that 1436 affordable number and possibly with more city funds. So basically smaller units vs before and more city spending on the project.

I still say Devs made out. got more units and city paying more of the bill.

I won't pay much attention to those studies due to limited data set. You are better off getting a genetic marker test to tell you what mutations/deletions you have that puts you at risks

They are useless and we been trying to find use for them and reassign for decades to other jobs. Regarding unions. let the MTA fail and state take over to renegotiate contract with them with aim of cutting these useless jobs

Nearly 200M a yr in payroll for them. That's 1 2nd Ave station every 5 yrs. Or 2 elevators every yr

MTA do have a lot of fat that needs trimming. No reason why we are staffing stations with token booth workers and paying them OT for under capacity stations last 2 yrs during a pandemic. Axing that one segment of obsolete job will save MTA 100s of millions that will allow us to build a new 2nd Ave station every few yrs. I rather have new stations vs a token booth worker whos always sleeping on the job that all should have been axe a decade ago.

its still a problem why DAs still citing how its impacting their prosecutions and even Hochul mention its on things to fix possibly in her 10 pt discussion of things to come if elected but heavily oppose by some dem elements

also still deflecting

way to deflect....so ok for Gendron to get off due speedy trial reform if he failed to kill anyone plus DA was backlog and failed to bring case due to time limit. got it.

at least 2 cited in the law you refuse to read

page 5 of the section 30.30

https://www.ils.ny.gov/files/30.30%20Manual%202020.pdf

except we have cases that are not shopfitters getting off on 30.30 and guess what attempted homicides are not a exception to 30.30

but allowed per speedy trial reform right if it happen?

so you allow to make a hypothetical case for your argument but I am not....got it

So if Gendron failed to kill anyone that day and only maimed and charged with attempted murder of folks and say DA failed to bring case to trial in time due to backlog and whatever. Defense cites 30.30 and other things in criminal justice reform...let Gendron go? dismiss all charges due to speedy trial reform? Is he not a danger to public and will likely cause more harm& danger to community?

Funny enough its possible for someone to try to murder you and failed and escape prosecution if the DA is backed up and enough time pass due to speedy trial reform. Justice as you said bizarre concept these days

its not just petty crime getting let out due to section 30.30. We have DUI/DWIs some with serious injuries and fatalities, drug possession, gun charges, abuse, assaults, robbery, etc all citing 30.30 why their charges be dismiss. Again they not claiming they innocent...but simply claim time has expired to prosecute and for jury to hear their case due to backlog especially due to covid. The reform was never envision as a means for these perps to escape justice.

you know you can read those cases and if you want stats. Ask the DA offices around NYC. See how much increased drop cases since reform enacted. We have Bronx, Queens and other DA office in state go to press saying its hampering their prosecution efforts.

plenty of cases of of folks caught in act and go unprosecuted bc of 30.30 and in one I recall regarding a driver that killed someone, case dismiss due to reform and continues to be reckless on road. future victim in the waiting.

then don't object to why ppl complaining crime is increasing bc of it

yes lets criminals we know did the deed walk. walk before a jury has a chance to listen to case. great reform. hence why its contributing to feeling of increased crime and nothing done about it

Pointing out the dramatic shift in defense tactics since speedy trial reform went into effect in our court rooms. Defense now simply cite 30.30 at every given chance now. Also happening in cases we know the perp did the deed as well. Its not like we don't have evidence they did it, defense wants it all toss out pre-trial because of time limits from reform

When you have defense lawyers no longer claiming their client is innocent but rather the time to prosecute has expired you know the reform was shiet. This is the norm right now in our courts.

Now, regarding speedy trial reform. If you want to reform and put a finite time frame but provide no resources or means to achieve set deadline, it's a failure of a reform.

Speedy trial reform should be suspended just like what we did during covid until we have the proper resources and finish clearing out our backlog to properly implement it.

should have a filter anyway for hard water.

While everyone harps about bail reform. Speedy trial reform the other part of criminal justice reform is the real issue and driver of lack of prosecution of crimes and drives DAs to downgrade charges for offenses which contributes more to the revolving door atmosphere ppl feel about crime.
