It can be pulled at any time and then landlord is SOL and stuck with tenant who he no way to pay

NYC tenants to landlords about to lose their homes: When you can't pay your mortgage due inability to collect on rent, its your fault you made a bad investment

NYC tenants when landlords make decisions to ensure a good investment: NOOOO, NOT LIKE THAT!

Fifteen billion dollars.
That’s how much money the state legislature mandated the MTA must raise through congestion pricing — by leveraging annual revenue to borrow $15 billion for the transit agency’s current five-year capital program.

THAT strict revenue target. You're ignoring patterns where they are.

I hope they tax streaming services, delivery fees, up their taxes on Con Ed, National Grid, your cellphone bill AND raise the fares.

That would be true if there wasn’t a strict revenue target on that tax. But since there is, it’s not about discouraging behavior, it’s to raise revenue.

That’s what I’m saying but yet I keep running into idiots on here saying drivers should have to pay another tax and toll increases

This sub: Tax drivers? YAYYYYYYYY

This sub: Tax shit I use? BOOOOOOO

There’s a not so small minority on this sub that endorse shoplifting cause it’s a “victimless” crime.

You can’t fix stupid.

God said "thou shalt not work from home in thy PJ's" and Eric is here to deliver the message.

Look who’s whining though lmao

I can't say I'm mad about this.

We always say prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

If they want use that space it needs to be properly maintained and taxed appropriately. Both things the city council needs to solve.

Glad the pilot program is finally being expanded. DOT is moving really slow. We also need expansion of car charging stations at a way quicker pace.

Okay but then you have to feed, provide medical care, give their kids room in our schools etc.. where does it end?

Nah you keep with the news. These people are making asylum claims but very few of them actually qualify for asylum. They're coming for work and to send money home which itself isn't a bad thing except we don't got the space to house them and we can't keep opening up shelters for them.

> These people aren’t coming here expecting free room and board for life, they have a plan and then some asshole in Texas ships them here and they don’t know where they are or how to get where they wanted to go.

I’m arguing we should stop taking migrants. We don’t have the space for them now and won’t for years as we should prioritize our existing homeless population.

What are you arguing for? Keep bringing them in and housing them in $500 per night hotels?

Your lack of understanding is crazy. Even if you started building housing now, it would take years just to house our own homeless let alone new migrants. Stop letting your fantasy land cloud your judgement.

Even if we did those things we’d build it for the people already here. Not these folks.

Actually this might save a few pennies off the upcoming fare increase maybe…

The city should just cut a deal with optimum or spectrum to provide free Wi-Fi coverage in city buses.

>euphemism for kicking out people overpriced out of apartments

No, it's means kicking people out who haven't paid their rent. Renting doesn't guarantee you get to live there forever.

>Transit officials said just 33,000 people used the Wi-Fi on buses during an average day. That’s about 2% of the 1.4 million bus riders the agency records per weekday.
MTA officials estimated the cut to Wi-Fi service on buses will save the agency $3.3 million every year.

It's nice to see them cost cutting for once. Lets tackle overtime abuse next shall we?

Best way to increase housing stock is processing eviction backlog quickly. That will open up more apartments to the market. In addition to building additional housing of course as longer term fix.

It’s a real conundrum.

On one hand you have people who want everyone to pay their tolls but also don’t care that people skip out on subway fares like it’s not hypocritical.

Then you have people who think that number of drivers going down that there won’t be an even bigger fiscal crises driven by decrease in fines/toll revenue because let’s be real, the city factors in that revenue.

On the third hand you have people who think everyone should have to to bike 5 miles a day.
