It would be pretty weird to be struck by a driver. Like the driver got thrown out through the windshield and collided with a pedestrian. Could happen, but usually I think people are struck by the vehicle

I would disagree. I think they have the legal power, but I would not say they could fix this and similar issues. I think their deficits of personal character render them incapable.

Reply to TIL the first official subway train pulled out to head uptown on Oct. 27, 1904. The mayor, George B. McClellan Jr., was on hand to start the train, but was so enthralled that he held onto the silver controller handle and drove the train all the way to Broadway and 103rd Street. by mankls3
Let Eric Adams drive the train

Neighbors report a lot of arguments and fighting there. Murderer transitioned gender but neighbors say that was not the reason?

I recall after the Hurricane people figured out payphones still worked.
There was a small pile of quarters on top of the one by me in case people didn't have quarters.
I did one better though, I went and stood by the hospital hoping they'd have a cell tower running on the backup generator and they did.

Reply to comment by MillennialNightmare in How a Hotel Was Converted into Housing for Formerly Homeless People by MillennialNightmare
Having a hard time figuring out these fine distinctions between places the city sends homeless people. Certainly apartment-style shelters have existed a long time, family shelters and safe havens. I guess the difference here is the nonprofit makes its money by taking 30% of the resident's SS/disability/welfare check rather than by charging the city?

So we're used to developments where the affordable housing units are mixed with normal units, here seems like they're mixing homeless shelter units with affordable housing units.
Seems good if they properly select the residents, but not gonna do anything for people who won't go to the shelter
Do these places allow drugs?

"Update mixing zones to offset crossings" in the slide above.
The mixing zone is the bike lane setup where there's like a small car left turn lane just in front of the intersection

I've been disappointed they've been taking away all the mixing zones, they are the best I've experienced. Everything just flows.

If we say "bullets struck John" that seems pretty clear. If we say "a person struck John" that sounds like a fistfight.
