A company I work with did a 30 year 10 full floors of a building in 2018, and the staff is now completely remote except a small team I’m on that meets there once a month. It’s absolutely insane to see it so empty. All that space, all that money, just going to waste. They leave the lights on 24/7 just to help the city look a bit more alive haha

Reply to An album of hidden, defaced, obstructed, and fake plates. The majority of these vehicles are owned by city employees. by NYCBikeLanes
Just remember, this is a thing https://nycserv.nyc.gov/NYCServWeb/PVO_Search.jsp
Just looked up a few and they are often speeding through school zones or bad parking. No wonder they tried to hide their plates!

There are already laws to prevent what OP is complaining about. The problem is 99% of people do not utilize them (because they might not know about them, or feel comfortable enacting them) and get taken advantage of.
NYC is not a city for starving artists anymore. It’s become a well oiled machine for extracting capital from working professionals and hedge fund college students. Maybe it was always like this and people are now just realizing they are just side characters.
As a working professional, it’s annoying, but also I do what I do to be ABLE to live here without worrying. Living in NYC is a luxury, not a right.

If people really liked them, they would stay. Clearly not enough people are buying them for them to exist.

No offense, but you’re a little late to the party if you’re complaining about gentrification in Manhattan. Might have missed that bus.

I think you guys are being too nice. All the evidence so far is indicating he and his entire campaign was funded from another country trying to gain seats in Congress. It’s a national security issue that he’s in congress.

Don’t we have that? Isn’t it just called property tax?
