I mean, they got theirs already right? If you have a public housing unit NYC is very affordable

I mean Cuomo loves losing down ballot races so why should he understand

The flip side is that this is one of the few cases where tariffs could spur domestic manufacturing…?

so much of modern affordability discourse is downstream of food and clothing being unfathomably cheap.

Milk!

Gallon of gas?

Ok but did anything else happen in 2008?

Would you rather:
-Marry an 80 year old veteran so your kids get pensions for life; or
- Live in your grandmother’s unrenovated 1960s apartment so you can pay $450 a month in rent in the West Village?

Last American to Collect a Civil War Pension Dies Irene Triplett was the daughter of a soldier who fought for both the Union and Confederacy during the Civil War. She was the last Civil War pensioner.

Yeah so the insurer has to make it up on the sticker price for current employees.

Nothing? I think COBRA is just plain expensive and that gets priced into the cost of employer healthcare generally

It’s complicated because of Route 4 I think. I don't know the opinions of the poskim in that community but I gather there are some issues with building eruvin that include busy highways.

Outside the eruv but otoh I checked the shul website and they are welcoming a new family who they specifically mention just moved to the marq!

Walking distance from Young Israel can’t hurt rents.

Oh hey I think I’m in this sample!

Plus the video game won’t shoot you or imprison you if you take a less-than-calculated risk…

I know very little about generalling but every video game that has an Antietam scenario makes it seem like a complete cakewalk for the Union.

The white tradespeople in NYC are also from the suburbs, it’s just that some of the suburbs are inside the city

Who are the plumbers in Oakland?

The OJ Simpson verdict

The Omelas transit agency, serving millions of yuppies with efficient bus service by harnessing the suffering of one poor guy in Hollis who dropped his last quarter and only has $2.65

“We must make transit in NYC more equitable by depriving it of funds”, real galaxy brain stuff

It breaks my heart when the unions pursue shit like this, as opposed to "maybe we can find new jobs or existing employees, or just run more service". Also, it's a big middle finger to any Mamdani administration attempts to make transit cheaper --- can't revenue while also disregarding efficiency

Getting NJ on board is one of the hard parts

Oh sorry I thought you were saying they would advise *anyone* to do it.

Still not sure I agree…my high school class was like 10% Gujrati-via-East-Africa and plenty of them applied to fancy schools and I don’t think they did so as black?

So, did you?

I ranked Zohran, I’d do it again even in light of the Columbia thing, but I still think the story is newsworthy and am happy the Times didn’t bury it. I hope he responds to it in an appropriate way. Am I missing something here?

The abundance answer is that operating costs aren’t a law of nature and there are lots of ways for gov to lower them that would benefit tenants directly!

Yeah I wonder if lower end landlords aren’t posting places online unless they have a broker

Oh man we can hope!
