No. You are misunderstanding and reaching. I’m saying if you are a fan of an artist you should support. Me using the word support shouldn’t suggest that I came off assuming that everyone can afford a 50 dollar pen holder. I’m not a stranger to struggle, hence why I’m big on support.

NYC shouldn't be doing this at all. It's not sustainable or wise to send people from some poorest nations to super expensive NYC. Just another scam where connected friends are getting paid and over charging in the process. $300 a night for a crappy unoccupied hotel room?. Which makes 2 rooms 18k a month (no kitchen or common living area) Anyone in this sub want to lease out their 2 bedroom to the city for 18k a month ?

What's the problem then? I figure it's that despite the size of the loop we outside of vehicles are still given a paltry amount of actual car free space to be active in, so we're getting these unfortunate interactions due to mixing modes. Partially mixed use paths can be notoriously tense due to mixing different usages and the sheer demand we have here in the park for the space.

Bruh ppl are spending most of their money trying to afford nyc rent. It’s cool that we feel surprised and sad abt the price. Let’s not get too hasty with our assumptions that everyone can afford to drop cash like that on a pen holder. It is fire tho

At least in spirit, the NYC laws require the private business to establish rules for the privately owned public spaces that ensures the space can be equally enjoyed by everyone.

If occupying one chair with your feet meant it was one less chair for someone else to use it, or one soiled chair or something, the enforcement/rules appears to be aligned with the spirit.

That being said, none of it excuses a security guard going on an ego power trip.
