Yes but not on a busway. Busways are roads that are closed to ordinary traffic.

Ban any additional funding to the MTA until they bring costs in line with comparable major cities.

> Okay, but the implication you're trying to make from that "fact" (arrest rates are not the same as crime rates) is unsupported by it.

That's not the point I made either explicitly or implicitly. The point I made is that you are wrong; that crime has more causes than just poverty, and in many cases, poverty isn't even the biggest contributing factor.

> The only thing it proves is that you're a racist. Race is irrelevant here.

You call me a racist because you don't have any valid response to what I'm saying. You panic and use whatever you can to avoid looking at the numbers because they totally disprove your very simplistic view of the world.

> And as I said, the data is skewed because black and brown communities are overpoliced.

Wrong again. Victimization surveys mirror the arrest rates given above. Victims themselves, including black and brown victims, identify their attackers in proportion to arrest rates. That's relevant when you claim that poverty causes crime and yet the most impoverished racial group is vastly underrepresented in crime stats.

YOU ARE WRONG. Your feelings don't matter. I'm giving you some very cold hard data that doesn't care about your emotions, and you are flopping around trying your best to ignore it.

The MTA doesn't need money, they need to get their house in order and stop lighting it on fire

I say that as someone who lives in Manhattan, uses mass transit everywhere and loves walking and biking.

But even I still rely on cars once in a while, and I know that a lot of hard-working people that I care in my life depends on cars a lot more than I do.

Fuck em. Letting exclusive suburbs run themselves as mini fiefdoms is how we got in this mess.

What have I said here that is in any way "racist"? If it is, please report me and have me banned and/or muted. If not, mind your business.

That's going to put a dent on the MO of future Wolves of Airbnb.

>A wannabe rental shark who calls himself the “Wolf of Airbnb” was indicted in a scheme to illegally sublet more than a dozen Manhattan apartments while he refused to pay rent, federal prosecutors said Thursday.

People who live inside the city shoodk not be allowed to drive anywhere outside the city ?

People should not be driving INTO the city . People who live in Manhattan do not drive around the city , it's not worth the hassle outside of a few random outer borough trips not serves well by public transport if that's a thing.

Every single congestion zone in the world offers variance for people who live inside the zone. I'm going home, I have a right to not pay absurd fees to go home , certainly should.nit be the same fee as a jabroni driving into the city to go to dinner for fun

All you anti car lunatics are too much it's X or Y when nothing In life is.lkke that

That's why all our policy sucks and doesn't work.

Doesn't even have to be a permanent variance, could be you get 2 trips a month

But no one would even agree with that, because your goal isn't congestion reduction, being reasonable or anything of the sort, its just purely to punish others, punish cars, and/or punish someone who has something you don't .

The MTA operates 7 bridges (Whitestone, Throgs Neck, RFK/Triborough, Verrazano, Henry Hudson, Cross Bay, and Marine Parkway) and 2 tunnels (Battery and Midtown), all of which allow for toll payment with EZPass. So how is it unrelated? It is quite relevant, they make quite a bit of money off bridges & tunnels (nearly $2 billion annually).

I mean, I'm fine with that last one. Nobody in this city should really be driving.

MTA also controls most bridges and tunnels.

The MTA runs bridges too.

>I live in Queens, the most diverse county in America. My block has people from all over the world, so I don't know what you're implying about "exactly like me". The Chinese, Korean, Azerbaijani, Indian, Russian and Secular Jewish families nearby aren't much like me, never mind "exactly" like me, but yeah, man.

I swear I'm not racist I have neighbors

Could the unprecedented crisis in housing inflation costs and homelessness that severely impacts quality of life be the reason to legalize building more? No, it must be to "punish" your little suburb by making it more livable with super scary homes that touch each other.

No we need more money to go to the migrants coming from other countries

Don’t be greedy

We need to give em trough our taxes more Medicaid , food stamps , cash assistance and housing vouchers

Ok

If u were born here and have not got rich that on u

We need to help and give more

“ give us your hungry and POORS”

The guy told him he’s not allowed to put his feet on a chair. Basic manners actually and not an ego trip. Our poster is displaying typical toddler complaining and seeking sympathy.

How are EZ pass tolls related to the MTA? If a person is paying a bridge or tunnel toll that would mean they are not using the MTA.

Isn’t it convenient that the congressman you bought is also your yacht broker? Just one phone number to add to your contacts, whether you need a boat or a tax cut! <follow me for more practical advice on corruption>

Paywalls. People are cheap so they share the free stuff.

Hardly. You sound like 90% of the posters on this site. Nothing new, clever, unique or original; just banal and jejune sloganeering. "Look at me. I'm more diverse/anti-racist/Progressive than you". Quite boring, really.

We don’t, automatic bail reduction law doesn’t apply to vfo. Could we target "People who have had recent VFO arrests better, sure that seems like a good path

Good. Wasn’t a fan of the fare hike to the ferry either

> If violent felony re-arrests drops among the entire group, even if it went up slightly in one cohort, that's still a net drop.

Imagine the overall effect if we didn’t apply the law to violent felony arrests? The net drop would be so stupefyingly obvious it would be impossible to deny the law’s benefits. We should try it.
