Something to factor in though is cost of living. In a concentrated area condensed to a few hundred square miles, it's a bit harder to say that costs can be spread thinner across more areas where real estate and land don't comparatively much cheaper, or more available. NY States' budget is roughly $200 billion, double NYC's but for the whole state. Makes sense given that there is way more land, and thus not as expensive for a dollar to serve a person whose relative needs and subsidy with tax dollars are cheaper to effect.

City Council Finance's projections and math is available online. They have public hearings happening now to understand the issue, and listen to the public testify about it. They also invite the independent budget office and others to discuss.

Is it that you just want a smaller budget due to fiscal conservatism? Or do you like have an axe to grind with the City Council Finance Division?

So these are the MFs that wreck me during the spring tree pollen season. Damn slutty trees spilling their pollen everywhere...

Anyway. Thank you allergy shots.

Sounds truly fucking awful

Even the clothes and decor worry me as far as the chemicals used in production.

No shit

I mean at some point if things don’t get fixed I’d be surprised if the top mod could find anyone. They got rid of some of the most active mods because they didn’t want to share power and they want to treat folks like employees. It’s an incredibly untenable position and one that I doubt anyone would want to be involved in for too long.

But yeah you missed all the fun!!!

Given the great deal on hotels each apartment should cost $8,000 and be in Manhattan

Thanks for this. I finally found out what kind of trees I'd never seen before and had no idea for 15 years. Small tree with huge leaves, it was a Catalpa.

Lmao. This is breaking news to absolutely nobody.

Anyone with a fucking brain could have told you before the first migrant stepped off the bus.

Major construction sites employ site safety managers that are basically 3rd party safety enforcement on ALL major buildings. While DOB itself is down on staffing that doesn’t mean safety isn’t being enforced on site via these 3rd party companies.

I am a licensed site safety manager on a major buildings project so I would know how things work

>The city is doing everything it can to enforce safety rules on construction sites,

Not in this administration. DOB is down over 20% of staff and Eric Adams has pushed that agency to "cut red tape" by reducing or eliminating fines for violations. He's pushing low to no enforcement as a "customer service" practice. It is fully the city's fault for choosing to look the other way to benefit slumlords. He neutered the agencies tasked with making buildings safe.

Hard-hitting reporting from the gothamist. I’m shocked they’re even addressing this. That’s how you know it’s a real issue.

> New York City's comptroller says the city's current approach to the migrant crisis is financially unsustainable . . .

You don’t say.

> . . . and that officials should shift focus and prioritize securing long-term housing, according to a new report being released on Tuesday.

😂. Yes, we should be giving all migrants long-term housing.

Yeah 100% false. Garbage fines are one of the most surefire things you can get in this city.

Not the city’s fault. The city is doing everything it can to enforce safety rules on construction sites, the problem is companies are employing low wage and unskilled workers to try to do these complex jobs

This guy has to be the mf dark lord or something. Every other day is just another piece about a new fucked up thing he's done.

Best part I saw in another source: he didn’t even have fish. 😂

Yes, that one was less than a week ago. I was exiting the Q at Canal right after today’s incident happened. There was a massive police and FDNY presence and according to the article, Adams showed up at some point. These construction/building violations are so dangerous.

Guess I left at the wrong time. Missed all this drama! Looks like no new mods were added, I wonder if this round of applications were unfruitful

How many miles do you walk per day on average?

It feels like we're inching toward the scale tipping over into his reelection being likely from highly unlikely.
