they will break down in about 3 weeks

very well-written & researched article. WHY DO THE STATIONS HAVE TO BE SO BIG???

booth agents are the most glaring example of the waste and inefficiency of the MTA. they have not had much responsibility for years, and have been downright useless since 2020 when they stopped accepting cash. they should have been eliminated a while ago, but of course unions and bloated bureaucracy don't allow for rational decision making

I understand your point that our country’s gun laws are insane and I agree with you. our gun laws are problematic because we have more guns than any other country on earth and therefore a horrific level of gun violence. That’s the reason they should be modified, not because the 2nd amendment was written in the 18th century. Those are 2 different arguments, one is the actual logical reason for change and the other is just stupid nonsense.

Obviously they’re dead since they lived in the 18th century. why is the fact that they were white a strike against them?

China doesn’t allow any American social media to operate in their country. their internet is essentially closed off to American companies.

Also, the US govt is not involved with American social media companies. the same cannot be said for the CCP in China, which is a dictatorship. not sure why you’re so vehement about defending tik Tok’s presence in the US

That Urban Space is cool but damn is it pricey

Are you kidding? you don’t think China is aware that our country has allowed them to infiltrate us via tik tok?

Also it’s Chinese owned manipulation and they’re prob happy to see Americans hurting themselves

every time I've gone to Europe I did not have cellular data. used wifi and maps. not that hard at all, just requires thinking & planning

Yep, Can’t have more affordable housing without more housing

"Grand Central station, the one we all know and love, has 43 passenger tracks on two levels and is one of the biggest train stations in the world in terms of track capacity."

I don't agree with the article's extremely pessimistic tone. but they're right to raise the point that building this terminal 16 stories underground instead of figuring out a way to incorporate it into the massive already existing Grand Central was a terrible misallocation of billions of dollars.

Yeah I was thinking today how this should be a snowstorm. hasn’t even been remotely cold enough to have a chance of snow

social media is not news

Is this really true? I find it hard to believe that Martial Simon had supporters after murdering this innocent woman

We live in a society that rewards shamelessness

I used to think I could win and then I started looking around the casino wondering how they could afford to run this place....

"Senator, you can have my answer now, if you like. My offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally."

10/10! I'm a subway creature

What a disgrace. No accountability or consequences for the MTA being a complete embarrassment

Sounds like a smear campaign from the legal weed industry

yeah exactly, also tenants do not deserve to share their buildings with random guests who may make excessive noise, trash common areas etc.

Hmm if the job market is trash where you live then sounds like you do need to travel to where the jobs are. people have been doing it for many decades. you want the nice NYC job but think you shouldn't have to leave your house for it?

I lived in Central NJ when I first started my career and had a 1.5 hour commute each way, 5x per week. It was a grind but I did it. eventually I moved to nyc. This wasn't a "privilege" granted to me but a choice I made and worked for. That word is so easy to throw around and make it sound like you're some kind of victim but in reality you're just whining.

yeah, you're "suffering" because you have to commute into an office. what a sick, twisted form of torture it must be to have to leave your home and travel somewhere to work!
