Go look at the map. Zeldin managed to carry the Asian enclaves in Queens.

The only thing stopping them is enforcement, ticketing, and seizures. Signs don't do shit.

Transit in LI is nice if you're looking to get between towns and the city. For day-to-day stuff, a lot of those activities will still need a car.
If you want to get between towns without a car, have fucking fun. Great Neck to Roosevelt Field Mall? That's three buses and 1 hr 44 minutes by transit and 24 minutes by car. My partner's parents live a 10 minute drive from the grocery store and a 40 minute walk. This article pretends as if LI is equivalent to the more densly populated parts of Queens and Brooklyn.

Everything is fine, she was more likely to get hit by a car so getting randomly socked in the face is just a statistical anamoly.

Tell the landlord to either deal with her or decrease your rent. Driveway space is valuable in this city and I wouldn’t let the landlord get away with promising a space and then not actually letting me use that space

Since the beginning of time, people have arrived and people have left. NYC might be heaven for one group but it is certainly not everyone's tastes. Shit I don't even know if its my thing anymore either
In other words... yawn
Also articles like this make me laugh... transplants can be so stupid :')

Randalls Island is a recreation area. The southern half is Wards Island, which is full of mens shelters and mental hospitals. They all ride the M35 bus to get to Manhattan

> I personally haven’t met anyone (20s-40s Asian-Americans) who voted for Zeldin
I wish I could say the same, but I don't think anyone should be surprised. I definitely got into some heated discussions with friends. The type of crimes Asians have faced over the past two years swung a lot (especially older) Asians towards law-and-order politics. The older Asians who I know went to Zeldin were single issue voters.
> Younger tend to be more liberal due to being less religious
I don't think religion completely explains political leanings - my parents are semi-religious and they're both Democrats - but they are most definitely not AOC Democrats. A lot of Asian cultures (at least East Asian) follow more socially conservative customs that align closer to the GOP than Dems. Younger people across all races and genders are more liberal in general and tend to become more conservative as they age.
> We’re voting for a bandaid at this point. It’s become very depressing
Yup. Pretty much rolled my eyes and held my nose when bubbling Hochul's name in. I probably could've been convinced to vote in a Bloomberg-type Republican but the entire GOP has been taken over by the malignant tumor known a Trumpism.
