the expanding access schtick is used to justify everything and anything.

In dentistry corporate DSO's use it to justify them owning and pulling money out of the entire system and allowing them to outright own offices. To expand access to care - yet all they do is open offices in highly competitive markets and close them in rural areas.

UPMC shouldn't have not for profit status. Medical systems in PA use this status to drive wild profits, which they just reinvest in growing the business and paying outsized salaries to c suite .. they can't retain 10% of the profit so they buy up buildings, build new treatment centers ... The status probably forces their reinvestment in growth

They back stopped deposits of banks with charters , did not bailout share holders or debt holders ...

Crypto exchanges are not regulated depositories with bank charters and FDIC etc

Why don't they just hire more?

I have no problem the way they used to do it, for example in Pittsburgh when the city)state out up like 15% of the money and it cost 280 million total

Now they are building monstrosities and asking for all the money. Buffalo does not need to spend 1.4 billion on a stadium

Insane and criminal

Mta wasts that much in 12 hrs. Why not focus on a real solution .like, reigning their runaway costs and corruption

So just keep wasting I stead of fixing. Thats literally why we have so much inflation and bs going on.

Yes the 30 million dollars will solve all the mta corruption

Certificates of occupancy

Yeah I mean more for certificate of occupancy, shouldn't have allowed more than 30-60 days in primarily residential areas. There's a reason we have hotel commercial etc some

Too late now

People who live inside the city shoodk not be allowed to drive anywhere outside the city ?

People should not be driving INTO the city . People who live in Manhattan do not drive around the city , it's not worth the hassle outside of a few random outer borough trips not serves well by public transport if that's a thing.

Every single congestion zone in the world offers variance for people who live inside the zone. I'm going home, I have a right to not pay absurd fees to go home , certainly should.nit be the same fee as a jabroni driving into the city to go to dinner for fun

All you anti car lunatics are too much it's X or Y when nothing In life is.lkke that

That's why all our policy sucks and doesn't work.

Doesn't even have to be a permanent variance, could be you get 2 trips a month

But no one would even agree with that, because your goal isn't congestion reduction, being reasonable or anything of the sort, its just purely to punish others, punish cars, and/or punish someone who has something you don't .

Overall Airbnb should have been treated tax wise and zoning wise similar to the second home rule etc

You can rent your primary for 14 days tax free a year.

Airbnb rented over 30 days a year should have required proper zoning and permits

Or certificates of occupancy

Yes! I knew it wasn't right

Thx

Half of me grows to hate ny more and more..

The other half can't go back to suburban life.

It's like a terrible drug in ways...

Id definitely tell others who's careers are not accekerates or better by living in the tristate to never move here.

Oh, get one of these accelerators it'll be approved in a month or so

Comeon man the cost of the the toilets didn't change .... It just cost 4x for the beauracracy and union contracts

Everyone has their hand out. Top to bottom .

Buddy suodating his house in Nassau, came to a standstill. Had to hire a an accelerator or whatever to get the permit people to come approve things.

Total scam

1 million for the toilets, 4 million to install (red tape, unions etc per the article )

Hey, genius redditor who doesn't know the different between permits and leases knows more than prominent eminent domain lawyers !... Amazing

"Michael Rikon, an attorney whose law firm focuses on eminent domain — cases in which government takes or restricts private property — says said he agreed with MSG’s claim that it’s being singled out, given that MSG owns the property and has successfully operated it.

If the city denied the MSG permit, Rikon said, “Just compensation would be required."

Uh, what?

They're trying to get around eminent domain value by not issuing their permit, the only major stadium in the city required to have a permit to operate.

WRONG

1.3 of 1.7 billion from the state was purely contingent on reaching 25,000 employees, the remaining would scale if they exceed that number, with 40,000 to get the full 1.7 billion

Amazon also had to build 2 job training centers, a school, improve two subway strips, provide communal green space ...from that the city and state pledged 5 million each towards the job training

1.3 from the city, only part of it was not contingent on the jobs through reduced rent

>Irrelevant

If they were going to hit jon targets, which your confident in, they weren't going to get tax breaks. So it should have zero effect on your decision

You can't have it both ways - they aren't going to bring many jobs and also be upset about a tax break they wouldn't get > Save 100s of millions vs private sale

How is that exactly, the private landowners we're giving Amazon discounts on the land ? The workers were going to do labor for free ?

Other states have been ripping away jobs and development from the northeast through tax incentives and already existing lower taxes .

This has been a trend for many many years , it was only accelerated by the pandemic.. companies had back offices in tax and lower cost / regulatory states ...talent pool was expanding, remote was already happening prepandenic

Office occupancy was much worse than let in, we work, spaces etc occupied a lot of space

But hey y'all are getting what you want fangmula is pulling back on office space

... To be continued in a bit

Did those 5000 units get built ?

> NYC doesn't need to give companies hundreds of millions of dollars to create a few thousand new jobs

If it was only a few thousand, there wooldn be no tax break

Not to mention, NYC gives TONS of tax incentives for jobs, I don't understand why Amazon , which per job was significantly less than most tax break given, really bothers you?.

> Happens organically

Are you loving under a rock? Businesses are leaving and only keeping small offices in NY, outside of finance and core tech.. except tech is more wfh .. both commercial and job paying base is being eroded and has been since before the pandemic

You isws to HAVE to have big outposts in NYC to complete for the talent and Inperson stuff, you don't need either for many industries anymore

> Does Amazon even pay taxes

Well, if they don't, then there's no tax break to be had, so no benefit anyway ?

Howard lorburg, one of NYC biggest developers > we haven't started a new project since before the pandemic in NY, it's all SE

Kevin O'Leary on Friday: NYC/NJ is now investible. Why would we put any dollars there when we're getting pushed out for creating new jobs, corruption is high, regulatory hurdles are enormous, and everyone wants handouts to get anything done .. we don't need to buy in NYC to capture the talent pool, and people want remote, so we don't need to operate there of people don't want to come there

Eh, their tech is pretty solid, and they have orders. They are pre revenue

The dynamic of raising money changed drastically..

They absolutely are hoping to be bought and have had interest.

Because YOI never leave my city, all convenient modes of getting somewhere that is not on a train line should be destroyed

Stop mentioning other congestion zones when the plan completely deviates from them

Why shouldn't someone who is paying more for the real estate this more in real estate tax get a benefit when jagofds drive into their home area and creat congestion for them ?

Why should I pay the same as a jagofds who lives on NJ not paying property tax here pays to go in? I have to pay to go home? They have to pay to enjoy amenities?
