Good for Won. Actively fighting for homeless housing makes her an outlier of the Asian community

This a quote form the CB2 meeting about housing homeless people in Chinatown

“This will only endanger the residents in the area. We already got a sample of the ‘clients’ that were staying there during the pandemic: Mayhem and chaos.”

I hope more people in those communities understand it’s a blessing to live close to someone who was homeless yesterday

It was a trump thing. Nothing riled up voters to get out and do something like a trump presidency,

I lived on Central Park South for a big chunk of his presidency, right between 2 buildings of his that attracted attention (the hotel on Columbus circle and trump tower) people forget how many protests there were between those 2 buildings. I would hear a protest/march at least 2x a week

OP should have compared to 2010 after 2 years of Obama

There’s no other option though. Lots of companies peak the base pay - even for a VP or CEO at ~$200k, 300k in an extreme condition. The rest is just bonus and RSU which is hidden by this law

It’s not like Meta is compensating people with $600k TC to more cash now that the stock dropped. It’s take more RSUs or quit

This is just an ad for a startup trying to get cash from nervous landlords

They “look for photoshop fragments” lol. Editing html in chrome or editing a pdf in Acrobat Pro leave 0 fragment. Credit score is basically the only thing a landlord can easily verify

Equifax sell a decent service that is based on facts, not photoshop fragments, called “the work number” if you need something like this. It’s pretty creepy to look yourself up and see how much Equifax knows about your employment

Maybe because

  • there is barely any crime to crack down on in the stations

  • the little crime there is, is limited to a ~5 second response time within ~20 feet. so we literally need a cop ready to sprint every arms length

And no, a disheveled man who looks like they haven’t showered in a month yelling about time travel isn’t a crime and they can’t stop that. Even though some of you feel that’s a crime personally committed against them

How would security cameras stop a 3 second push? It’s not like these people are never arrested. I don’t know of a subway pusher that’s still on the loose because cops can’t find them

You seem to be advocating for some 3 strikes rule towards the end of your comment. Which is very different than making sure 1 person isn’t pushed to the tracks every ~30 million rides by physically guarding every inch of subway at every moment of the day

You’re basically advocating for every New Yorker to have a private security guard walking around with them. In order to prevent a crime that’s about 1 in a million or even rarer

At that logic you can also make private cars illegal. Much higher risk for a random person to cause you injury with them

Also same logic as locking down the city forever due to Covid. If even 1 New Yorkers in a million dies from covid, we need to shut down all restaurants

I love this a lot more than building more 2000 sqft condos that stay empty after bought

Maybe if we normalized this, companies would see they could make even more profit splitting those 2000 sqft into 20 apartments. Which would clear up studios and 1brs beyond 96th st and Manhattan

First of all, tax income is at an all time high

That little thing about high rents pretty much contradicts everything else you’ve said. When things really do get bad, when people feel unsafe, they don’t outbid each other and line up in front of open houses to pay some loser agent a 15% fee

This city is packed more than ever with rich assholes making 40x $4000, $5000, $6000. They wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t the best city in the world
