The LIC one tends to have short lines.

Again, what actual instance are you referring to? People keep repeating this claim but not citing what projects he’s opposed.

What instances are you referring to? On twitter at least he’s somewhat pro-housing.

OP's other posts are all about air pollution, "drug exposure," etc. Not to diagnose over the internet but seems like they need some professional help beyond reddit.

Well I'm guessing because they don't have policies this egregious.

The article itself mentions that Mt. Sinai and Weill Cornell "offer luxury accommodations and personal concierge services to patients who can afford them," so it's not like they're being ignored — but prioritizing rich people for emergency treatment seems like it may be unique to NYU.

I don't know, man, but two medical workers said "the delay could have been deadly," which is enough evidence for me that this is a fucked up practice. Why's everyone in the comments desperate to defend this multibillion-dollar medical institution?

From the article:

>In late 2019, doctors were racing to rescue a patient in cardiac arrest. One pushed the gurney toward one of the private rooms meant for life-or-death emergencies. Another sat atop the unconscious patient, performing chest compressions. When they arrived at the room, they could not enter — a V.I.P. occupied it. The patient survived, but two workers who witnessed the episode said the delay could have been deadly.

The detainee did say it was consensual. Obviously you can argue there's no real consent with this kind of power dynamic, but for journalistic purposes, don't think you can fault them for using this headline as the most accurate summary.

Surely the other bars are struggling in the exact same way. That seemed to basically be the point of the article.

It's plainly untrue that they "can't sell drinks" — they're popular, they bring in tens of thousands of dollars a month, and the bar is very well-reviewed online.

They just can't sell enough drinks to meet the arbitrary threshold we've set in the city, once you take into account the many ways that our government fails small businesses.

Why is everyone being so unforgiving to this guy?

Should you not be allowed to run a bar in NYC if you're not maximally "productive"? Isn't the point of this article that regular, neighborhood bars should be given the support they need to survive even if they're not some perfectly efficient business operation?

> Unless they increased size of building

They did increase the building size: they converted office and community space to create the new housing units.

> Nadler's seat had a thin line snaking through Brooklyn

His district looked like that even before the recent redistricting. That wasn't even a partisan gerrymander, it was a way of linking Jewish communities on the UWS and Brooklyn.

The Dems' map was plenty greedy, but so were dozens of other maps across the country that the Republicans drew for themselves. Nearly all of those were allowed to stand, yet Cuomo's judges struck down the New York one — it's the asymmetry that's deeply unfair.

Got it, sorry if I misinterpreted your comment — there are lots of posts in this thread along the lines of "we should cut MTA's funding and see what happens," so I thought you were suggesting the same.

No, but they could cut service and staffing to the point that it's no longer a reliable means of transportation, which would seriously fuck up the lives of millions of New Yorkers.

I get the impulse to want to "punish" the MTA for its mismanagement by reducing funding, but that won't actually fix anything — it'll just make all of our lives miserable.

Lafayette St and Great Jones Street in NoHo.

Here's an old article about the diner, and here's how it looks today.

I believe it's a painting by Richard Estes, who had a photorealistic style. But OP used an AI software to artificially extend the painting's borders on both sides.

Here you go. Corner of Lafayette and Great Jones Street.
