Another "hate crime" that doesn't meet the legal threshold and will be reduced to a lesser charge.

Boohoo people find you attractive and want to get to know you better. What a horrible predicament.

I gave you a more realistic example previously but clearly the brainpower required to understand that one went over your head, hence why I had to reduce it to an impaired 2nd grade level. Looks like it didn't work.

????? You can't be serious right?
Whats the better value: Station 1 that costs 100 dollars and serves 1 person Station 2 that costs 200 dollars and serves 200 people.
Are you going to build station 1 because it's cheaper?

Spending 1 billion on a station that serves 10 million riders is different than spending 35 million on a station that serves 15k riders. These projects scale up to their service needs. All stations and projects are not equal.
Stop comparing nominal cost.

Ok so let's compare French light rail to the subway? It's a glorified bus service lol. Compare heavy rail to heavy rail, which is what is being compared. Of course suburban light rail will be cheaper than SAS 2 lol.

It's not that simple, this is a fairly complicated system. They also have other projects and may not have the ability to scale easily.

Don't compare the whole system. Compare just the ridership of an improvement per people who use it.
Your ridership stats are also incorrect. Nice facts, idiot.
Stop trying to own people on Reddit when it comes to topics you just Google for five seconds to verify.

Cost of project per rider who uses that project. Not cost per ticket.

Consider lead times too. One manufacturer may not be able to produce 3

Cost per rider for MTA projects is significantly lower than most of the European projects people compare to. It's like being surprised that a bus costs 10 times as much as your car. "But my smart car cost 30 grand!"

Reply to comment by TeamMisha in New tree plantings in NYC fall to lowest level in 15 years by King-of-New-York
Can you get high school volunteers to select an optimal species, procure it, excavate the tree pits, pour the concrete, load up the truck, strap it, transport it, unload it, inspect it, and then do citywide maintenance calls for the first three years?
On one hand it's actually not that hard, but on the other it's not that easy. There's a lot of logistics.

Are they really the best, though? And are we really lucky to have them? They are selling candy bars on the train. You can't be serious.

Huge W- this highway has promoted endless commerce and economic growth- at the cost of some random shit building in Red Hook. Big deal.

Reply to comment by ShatteredCitadel in What New Yorkers need to know as thousands of NYC nurses begin strike by Nscience
Most people are at the job they are at because their ACTUAL dream jobs are unattainable or unrealistic due to lack of opportunity, lack of willpower/intelligence, or other circumstances.
Not everyone can be an astronaut, but I bet you everyone on that mission planning team wishes they were.
There's a difference between people wanting a job for money and wanting a job because it's decent money and it's the best they can do.

Apartments in Manhattan are very very well priced right now if you're a landlord. Average (Manhattan) is like 4500 a month. I'd consider that a steal insofar as they are stealing your money. Got me feeling like mao ๐
