Good stuff, these guys should follow the rules just like everyone else. Now do all the rest of the QoL stuff.

In this case enforcement is handled by the State Education Department, which is not an executive agency. NYSED is controlled by the Board of Regents who are appointed by the state Assembly.

It isn't that bad when realize it started as multiple towns and just filled in over time. Gotta cut some slack because it's a lot more organic that strictly planned. Plus the bifurcated addresses help: 150-12 30th Ave is at 150th Street.

Increasing the amount of space they have to sell food increases the likelihood they'll stay open, generating more tax money. And if they close the city should require them to take down the outdoor dining, freeing up that precious parking you're so concerned about.

Sure, or come up with a reasonable per-foot of frontage rate that can be paid annually. But figuring out a new tax valuation seems a bit silly when the city will see benefits from increased economic activity, foot traffic, and payroll taxes. These spots were just going to be used to warehouse cars anyway.

Most of the students in the security alerts are out own towner morons who think it's fine to video chat on your iphone while strolling through the Bronx at whatever hour. Not saying they deserve it, but it's pretty fucking stupid for a student at a pretty decent school.

I'm not saying that locking people up is the right approach, but plenty of people start opiates recreationally.

societal decay.

It's a lack of education because people think they're gonna win. A lack of activities because people don't have anything else to do but go and lose money amidst faux luxury and flashing lights. And the casinos market hard towards the exact sort of poor, uneducated people who can't afford to go there.

Yeah. At least one legislator went to jail for fraud around per diem recently too. He was billing for Albany stays on days he never went up therem

Most either split an apartment in Albany with another legislator (dirt cheap, less than 2k a month for a smaller 2 bedroom that's walking distance to their offices) or stay in hotels. They can use their campaign funds to pay for the hotels or use their per diem (that's right the state pays them extra to travel to Albany already) of $183 a night. That pays for a pretty nice hotel in Albany, or some of them stay at the shitty days in by the airport for $60 a night and pocket the rest.

Because new voters might not be as maleable as the ones who elected her. Can't risk the same old Harlem machine politicians losing power.

If the city wanted to ban the production of Foie Gras inside NYC then they are more than welcome to. They didn't. They banned the sale at restaurants. The farmers that this hurts aren't city residents so they have no voice in the process. But they are state residents so Albany stepped in to protect them.

Nope. Overreach by the city. The state agricultural law prohibits any municipality from passing laws that will adversely affect the agricultural industry of another municipality. This way the state government, with representatives from both areas, can come in and make a decision where both areas have an equal say.

Also people don't rely on puppies for food. Cruelty in how we treat pets is a lot different from how we secure the food chain.

Librarians don't have a big enough union for the city council to really care or do anything.

Most likely. The CCP has been caught having them in cities around the world to monitor the Chinese diaspora and Chinese citizens abroad. Makes sense that they'd have one in NYC with the size of our Chinese community and all the rest of the stuff happening here.

> Instead of parking lots, we'd get five- to six-story apartment buildings, with reduced space for cars, next to busy LIRR or Metro-North stations. It's a win-win—not only would it help address the state's yawning housing gaps, but also, our climate problem. Suburban sprawl's link to car dependency—a key contributor of carbon emissions—is well known. Want to drive your car less? Live closer to reliable transit.

This is pretty short sighted. Reduced parking at LIRR will just disincentive people who live outside of walking distance from taking the train. And the people who do move close to express stops (nobody is gonna bump development on local stops) will still need cars to access the rest of long island for food, entertainment, schools, etc; because the whole system is designed to exclusively bring workers to jobs then back.

The state democratic party did fuck all to support those ballot initiatives and then acted surprised when they lost. Way to go Jay Jacobs, you useless fuck.

Begone shill

Half of whitestone and Staten island are smarter than this guy and they're only stealing tolls and speeding.
