but... if we made the system more efficient... how would we take advantage of it for personal gain?

jesus christ what fucking scumbags

yeah they gave Elaine a 646 and then she ended up getting a new 212 from her elderly neighbor when she died. Then the calls from the grandson who didn't know she died started coming in so she faked her death to make the kid stop calling lol.

well shit man i'm pretty sure we've been living in Hate Millennium for quite some time now.

surprised how quickly uber turned into literally just yellow cabs with an app. all the same problems, except i dont have to stand on the corner to get one.

i... you know what? i'm on board with this. bring on the generation of actually-capable humans. enough of this unwashed masses bullshit!

pretty sure i just used my passport and maybe like a utility bill?

lol /r/redditisfacebook

yes... people were shorter a century ago.

it looks like they actually removed what i assume was a kitchen on the back of the house on the main floor.

easy there bloomberg

it could very well be weed. and even if it's not, possessing drugs is hardly a legitimate reason to shoot someone or lock someone up. we learned that decades ago.

well, maybe not today

subway cars strike people all the time. they just don't tell you about it.

I opened this in a small window and didn't see the actual mascot and thought you were saying Eric Adams' administration is garbage and he was a weird choice to be its mascot. and I thought... well you're not wrong, but that's an interesting way to phrase that.

OT abuse definitely happens with MTA. There was a group of MTA employees a few years ago who literally setup a man cave with couches, TV, video games, and beer in some hidden back room in one of the stations and they would go there and hangout while charging OT.

yeah, same. so. much. sledding.

in 99 it was exam week so all our exams just got canceled lol.

96 was jan. so was 99. but 93 was march.

blizzard of 93 was march but blizzard of 96 and 99 were both jan.

all three of shut the city down for a week.

i wasnt here for the other big ones in the 2000s but i think a couple were in feb and maybe one in jan.

accountability for the black police. there were white officers involved too who haven't been held accountable at all. you can see them in the videos.

this sub represents the whiny transplants who just moved here and can't handle the realities of coexistence, and the grumpy natives who also can't handle the realities of coexistence.

sure but that's different. that happened because people left the city en masse, not because they built too many units -- and it didn't last. it happened post-9/11 too. demand for housing here is driven by the desirability of the city itself more than anything. when the city is desirable, which is like 98% of the time, then they can charge whatever they want and keep units vacant or off the market. when the city isn't desirable, they offer a couple months free and then rent goes right back up.

leases don't go on forever. we're nearly three years into the covid era. certainly leases have expired in that time or been broken, and as time goes on, surely more will expire.

yeah but the property owners are the ones dictating the plan so it doesn't matter if it's a good plan or not, it's the plan we're gonna get.

that's always the hope but have we ever seen that actually happen? i haven't seen it in my lifetime. these days giant real estate corporations control the supply. they can keep it low and prices high simply by sitting on units and not putting them on the market, and then use those vacancies to claim losses. it's a win-win for them to keep rents high even while building more units.
