Uptown Edition?

Doubtful.

NYCHA is the largest slumlord in the country.

CT Health Care Premiums are about to go through the roof!

And this is voluntary right?

Better, yes. Generous, no.

You sounds like a victim of NYS government. We deserve better.

Looks kinds cheap tbh.

Unemployment is at a near all time low. Job creation has outpaced layoffs.

We are at the tail end of the "Great Resignation". People wirh marketable skills and experience are quitting jobs and moving to new jobs that pay more. Lots of people have taken advantage of the last two years to upskill and pivot from one career to another. There is no better time than now. Fortune favors the bold. Be bold. Take a risk. You may just find yourself in a better place.

Find a new job that pays market rate for your skills and services.

The plot thickens.....

But then the city would have to be the bad guy and the mayor and council have a base they need to appeal to. Can't do both and get reelected.

The sure as shit vote for it.

To be fair, local taxes can be 10-15+% before all the Airbnb fees are added.

Look at the cost alone. 4 billion. That's 40 million per school. With that kind of money being spent other countries can build new schools. Meanwhile in NYC....

This is NOT the case currently or in near term future.

Lookong at my last utility bill nat as is definitely cheaper. Supply is an issue when we cannot build new nat gas plants or pipelines.

It's more than just Reddit, this is the way in NYC.

It's not dismissive, it's spot on given the BOE and cities track record.

Reversion to mean is not shortsighted. All things will correct themselves in due time. WFH will not go away but I can say with certainty that more people will start commuting to Manhattan in the future. Next year or next decade. Either way it will happen.

Politicians have not made meaningful investment to expand train and subway infrastructure in past resulting in today's over crowding. To think future development will force politicians hands and get investment in any type of mass transit infrastructure is shortsighted. We need a long term regional plan with investments today that will move the needle tomorrow. Instead we have politicians who are only focused on the next election cycle who are loathe to spend public funds on long term projects when spending can be allocated to projectS they can champion and claim as wins this election cycle.

Subways. Thinking everyone on this sub has had to watch full subways cars pass them and their station when at capacity during rush hour. More cars, more tracks, and need for more people than 30 years ago. Last two years are an outlier and if/when we get back to pre COVID ridership levels we will quickly exceed current capacity.

We would both like this to be true but infrastructure has not kept up with development and additional people that followed in last 30 year.

And infrastructure, of all kinds.
