Tbf you can see what happened to the mental health crisis in this city after many of those programs were defunded...
But don't worry no one will ever try non-siloed mental health initiatives inside existing agencies ever again.

They should take another car lane to make a nice wide bike lane with 2 lanes to accommodate all the micromobility users.

I distinctly remember a couple 70 degree days in late February maybe 3 or 4 years ago.

What makes you think the asset wouldn't appreciate. I mean...there's a years long waiting list to buy places in Penn South and the Mitchell Lama buildings

Yeah I have. They took pictures of the physical injury and issued an Order or Protection at arraignment which was extended at their first court appearance. You can't file for an order of protection on someone else's behalf. But if you have a physical injury, NYPD must arrest the abuser. And you will have a protection order the next day.

You can have equity in an asset even if it's not 100% equity.

They should cut it down to one lane for cars and make the other a dedicated bus lane

Reply to Put some signs to discourage heavy gas mopeds on the bridges and protected bike lanes by CroustiBat
The city needs to do what they did on 8th and 9th Avenues pretty much everywhere. They should expand all the bike lanes to two lanes in each direction and add about 10 extra feet to all the crosswalks. Mopeds don't belong on wide fast streets with cars but they shouldn't be weaving in and out of bikes either. With the sheer volume of micromobility vehicles out there combined with overcapacity for cars about 90% of the time - the road design is truly unbalanced. Particularly on my evening commute home there are more bikes/ebikes/scooters/mopeds waiting at a given light than cars.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Traffic deaths in NYC still 14% higher than pre-pandemic levels, latest data shows by ER301
There are more deaths on evehicles because there are more evechicles. There is zero evidence it's due to their 'disregard for the law.' Condering there have been more pedestrian fatalities through Oct this year than in 2017 and 2018 and a massive increase in hit and run fatalities...evidence points to drivers disregarding the law at higher rates since the number of drivers is up to prepandemic levels.

yes that completely explains the spike in pedestrians getting hit by cars. That's some PhD level analysis.

This. The vast majority of even conservative and orthodox Jews place huge value on education and it's role in the success of their children. I have many friends who grew up orthodox and many went to private and even Catholic schools if they were the best in the area.
Non-secular education is specific to certain branches of Hasidism and Haredi Judiasm. It's objectively terrible and gives no kids no choice about their role in the community later in life as they end up extremely dependent.

There's a difference between criminal and civil penalties. If you steal millions from your employees, you don't get arrested and sent to Rikers. That is not in the NY Penal Law.

Wow, fined once and went back to cheating workers again. There should be a criminal prosecution for repeat offenders. Instead of locking up people who snatch iPhones they should lock up people who snatch millions from their employees.

Reply to comment by 4thdimensionaltwat in Loose syringes, dropped drugs hurting pets in NYC’s Tompkins Square Park by NYY657545
Wow. Addiction is a medical problem with a protocol of treatment. It's not a personality flaw. The national litigation against Purdue and the Sackler family laid bare how far some drug dealers are willing to go to get rich. And yes addiction hurts others. They hurt children. They impact local school and health care systems. It's actually tragic and we need to so a much better job treating people and caring for the people affected long term.
There's plenty of work on addiction that explains that. A story about a designer dog that shouldn't exist anyway stepping on a needle is so mind numbingly stupid. And it's an in your face reminder that rich, white transplants care less about the people who have the least health care resources to fix a problem that was directly targeted on them....then their stupid labradoodle.
