That's ab emission pricing which you don't pay to f your car is compliant. Which isn't.unreasomable
Virtually all cars sold after 2006 are compliant, all electric and hybrids are compliant as well.
Okay let's add that, so what. Local residents still get exemptions on the congestion, if they drive an excess polluting vehicle they can pay the fine

That land is earmarked for affordable housing? Who's building affordable housing there ???? Please I'd like to know ?
The tax break was completely tied to 25000 jobs
It's been 3 years, what has been built in that space ,? What permits have been filed ?

I'm fucked up for pointing out that the cost in city a is not proportionate to the cost for doing so etbing in an entirely different value and regulatory environment ? Lol
You're just upset that no one has agreed w you or something .

You keep, responding? Despite refusing to acknowledge how pointless your comparison was. Hence why multiple people let you know, lol
Cost to build and land in Edmonton is entirely unrelated to Manhattan. Sorry you can't grasp that .

Uh, now imagine you drive to go get something and driving home costs you money
People who live in the zone are paying a premium to live there, congestion is brought in by people who don't live there.
EVERY single other congestion zone in the world gives variance to residents if the zone and.people.immediately adjacent because it's made.foe a purpose, not a money grab
Y'all are just selfish and haters and think, well as long as it doesn't affect me fick em.. not actually thinking about the point of it
You're riding a system infrastructure ... I pay taxes towards roads already. Also pay to use specialty infrastructe like bridges and tunnels ....

You said that line 9 responses ago..
Your comparison like saying building a house in Pennsylvania cost $120/psf why is this shoe ox apartment selling for $1500-$3000 in NYC.. it .makes no sense.. ironically I happen to be in the middle of PA this wkd, hence the reddit
NYC is an amazing city, there's no doubting that. I've been to Edmonton before lol. Almost Couldn't pay me enough to move there.
You're taking this so personally, it has nothing to do with pride in expense of New York, but your dimbass comparison makes no sense.

The article literally says, 5 billion dollars for the cost to acquire land, not build an arena
How are you definitively arriving that 5 billions dollars is not what it would cost to acquire new land for an arena in the area ?
What does the cost to built an arena in a Canadian city have to do with land value in prime Manhattan ?
The article also says that not one single other arena in the city has been requires to obtain an operating permit (side note)
No pride in how expensive and corrupt the city is, but don't see why we need to let useless comparisons drag on
It sucks that land labor licensing air rights building costs construction are so expensive, but your comparison to an arena in Edmonton is pointless
I still dont understand what that 500 million has to do with the 5 billion dollar cost of land

Okay, so how did you arrive at your value of the land and air rights on one of the most exoe sive areas in the world?
And the most exoe sive permitting, licensing, construction hard/soft costs etc

5 billions is the land value and air rights alone, buddy.
Are you an expert in land value in manhattan?
Your just saying , OMG BIG NUMBERS
Msg spent well over 1 billion just marginally improving msg btw.
Aside from BIG NUMBERS, and Edmonton, what are you basing your thesis on

Do you know what the cost of 2 city blocka on 7th Ave btw 31-33rd st is?
Hudson yards was cheap land because it was built above train yardsthat was previously unusable land
You're talking about land on top of a station that connects LIRR, NJ transit, and many subway lines together ?

That's idiotic policy , but it's irrelevant
The comparison would be the governed revoking your occupancy permit on your house, and the justifying paying you 40k.for taking rhe raw land since it doesn't have an occupancy permit ..
Dolan sucks , the corruption and expense to do anything in NYC sucks, the fake 5-8 billion dollar number being thrown around is probably ridiculous, I don't know enough to confidently comment.

Barclays center in Brooklyn not a top area of it cost 1 billion dollars..there's nowhere near the density in that area or access issues. The land value is not on the same level of pen district.
5 billions probably high, but to even think something in Edmonton has any value on comparison is ridiculous
The bills are spending .1.4 billion on a. Stadium in buffalo ny lol & granted that's absolutely ridiculous.
5 is probably high but most comments here are saying he shouldn't get anything. (him sucking is irrelevant, you can't end around eminent domain )
It would be like the governed saying, we've revoked your occupancy permit for your house , now it's only worth the raw land of 50k, that is what we will pay you for eminent domain

Oh yeah he sucks, absolutely
But you can't just try to end around ekinent domain by not renewing msg permit after all this time.
Now I'm not saying the 8 bil figure is correct but with all the corruption it'll prob cost that much today

The failed to raise additional funding in this environment , so laid off pretty much everyone but core engineering
They have multiple multi - year contracts in place with some of the largest carriers, if they can ever get over the finish line.
We are not shutting down,” company co-founder and CEO Çetin Meriçli told FreightWaves in an email late Friday. “We did reduce most of our non-engineering headcount in the face of economic headwinds.
“Unfortunately, we had an employee give an unauthorized and inaccurate quote, and despite providing further information, the original story ran anyway.”
