This is mostly due to 2 things: opening of subway line, and lack of construction laws. In the 1920's no housing was taller than 10 stories. Between 1900 and 1940 the population doubled (3.5m to 7.5m)

I've been saying this for YEARS. Stop putting a TCP stack in everything. Your cat food dispenser does not need to be on the internet. It creates a massive attack surface for no reason.

Ahh yes, the famous passage from Leviticus 18: "Thou shalt not engage in collective bargaining, for unionization is an abomination unto the lord"

but seriously tho - what part of Catholic doctrine forbids labor unions? Have these people not read Reynolds V US (1878)?

I'm not sure what part of Catholic doctrine covers collective bargaining. Was it in Leviticus where unions are classified as abominations?

Did Vodka Cause the Russian Revolution? Prior to prohibition, no less than one-third of all state revenue of the mighty Russian empire came from selling vodka to its own people

Funny story - there are theories that Tsar Nicholas II's decision to ban sales of alcohol at the outbreak of WW1 was one of the major causes of the collapse of the Romanov regime: time.com/6082058/russ...

The reason this isn't going away is because the US is home to far more survivors of childhood sexual trauma than anyone wants to admit or who have been steeping in silence, shame, anger and quiet isolation.

They identify with those victims in ways they sometimes barely realize and they are PISSED.

I downloaded NYC vehicular collision data from 7/1/2012 to 7/22/2025 (N= ~ 2.2m) from here
data.cityofnewyork.us/.../h9gi-nx9...
Only about 3.5% MAX accidents that resulted in an injury or death to a pedestrian involved a bicycle or e-bike. 97% plus of accidents involve a vehicle OTHER than a bike.

This is why NYC politicians pander so hard. Most of the policies they promise are not under their regulatory or administrative purview. Members of the city council cannot change state housing policy. They can only lobby.

It is a longstanding issue that most policy that effects NYC is set in Albany. Rent control is a good example - only effects the city (+westchester) but all laws enforcing it are state. Albany even passed a law preventing the city from passing more stringent rent laws!
