The got "NOTHING" from the government, except a free education for all their children and, in many cases, a free homestead, too.

With all the people complaining about the snow cleanup, none of them seem to want to bring these back

I hate - HATE - OMNY so much! What do you mean auto reload just stopped working? Now I'm delayed at the turnstile and using my credit card instead to get on. And it wasn't included to finish up my fare capping for the week. Come on! Run a reliable service and stop overcharging.

It has been abandoned almost as long now as it was ever in use.

It's literally freezing cold and people are still out here enjoying Bogardus Plaza.

The problem with elevated highways is really just pollution IMO Ever biked under the West Side Highway through Riverside Park? Turns out with good lighting & streetscapes activation, with trails & basketball courts etc, it's not bad! This is way better than a surface stroad

Alex Armlovich The offramps are also an issue cause they cause a lot of surface level traffic and create some dangerous intersections for pedestrians. They also often cast shadows and dark dead spaces. They need to be intentionally activated to work even sort of well.

This is the danger with The Power Broker. Caro embellished on wild stories to portray Robert Moses as some kind of cartoon-villain racist, and then those morph when they're retold. A more accurate and meaningful focus would be how institutional racism operated with Moses.

It really is the end of an era when they remove the newsstand in front of City Hall.

I'm seeing more cops than ever on the street in The Bronx and on the subway. Maybe it was more a matter of putting the tens of thousands of police officers we already have to work, rather than hiring more of them.

A bad but universal metric of public transit reliability is the % of a line that is in its own lane. It is easy to create exclusive lanes where there is little delay, but not at the bottlenecks where they matter most. So this metric says nothing about reliability.

If you don't increase NYPD headcount by 5,000, that's a "cut." Instead, we should just eliminate existing positions at other agencies where the employees aren't standjng around on their phones and giving you dirty looks when you try to get around them to catch your train?

He's talking about metering street parking, right?

Um... what is this, OMNY? The card is funded, why are you saying that it has a negative balance? Will it work when I need to get on the train? This isn't working, MTA.

This moment of bad urbanism by Columbia University took the possibility of spanning over NYC streets almost entirely off the design table for generations.
