I’ve just started smashing 0 hoping for the best because sometimes that’ll get through

Trump Moves to Kill Congestion Pricing. The MTA Is Suing to Save It [Updated] The Feds have pulled their approval for the tolling plan. Supporters of congestion pricing say that doesn't matter.

Not to mention the involvement of pro housing abundance groups that spent hours testifying, collecting signatures and canvassing! An enormous collective effort, the Housing not Hire rises people really tried to block this. Apparently 10 stories is a high rise lol

I’ve come to think that people who are anti monorepo is due to bad, out of the box tooling. When you have good tooling it really is a dream as a run of the mill developer.

It’s honestly tragic.

my experience with rednote has really been “posters of the world unite”

Not to mention that personal computers were marketed pretty much exclusively towards boys.

2024 in Review: The Year Congestion Pricing Almost Finally Happened (Again) - Streetsblog New York City Kathy Hochul threw the MTA into chaos and may have handed the future of New York City's transit system to Donald Trump.
