Freedom of speech refers to the first amendment of the United States Constitution. It’s one sentence. I suggest you read it.

tl;dr?

LOL

It most certainly would help, by allowing that present shithole to be completely rebuilt in a proper fashion. And demolishing 2 Penn Plaza would help even more.

Let’s not forget that MSG does not pay property tax—and has not since the early 80s, iirc.

It is foolish to mock the value of the aesthetic to society.

Not only that, but artistically it means nothing at all.

It’s not imaginary, it’s reality, and just about everywhere—for good reason.

Removing any president is a much taller order than removing a freshman congressman who’s a nobody. And Dumb Donald brought at least some political benefits to the weaklings and sycophants who supported him; Mendacious George provides no such benefits to anyone.

If the pressure and embarrassment were high enough and sustained enough, they would move against him. If

Excessive traffic congestion is a function of three things: number of vehicles, amount of road space, and time.

Unless it’s realistic to build more roads (it’s not, at least in NYC) or to expand rush hours even further, the only solution is to reduce the number of vehicles. This can be achieved by giving people viable alternatives (a carrot) together with a stick (eg congestion prices).

A pity Lyft doesn’t lower the annual cost in an attempt to enlarge the pie.

If only Hochul would declare MSG and 2 Penn Plaza blighted

This is because GCT has much greater capacity than NYP (about 3X the tracks) while also serving a fraction of the passengers.

1. NYP was neglected by the railroad and had not been properly cleaned in years; back then cars were filthy polluters. So that TN marble looked like shit (GCT was neglected then too)
2. yep there was advertising, again just like at GCT (the giant Kodak sign). But if it had survived I think it would today be treated as a Monument (like GCT), w/ little or no vulgar advertising

What’s the name of the place that replaced CBs? A shoe store? Which was (and maybe still is) decorated w/ all kinds of CBs lore pics etc from back in the day. Essentially a shrine. Anyway, one of these displayed vintage photos showed the Ramones or Bowie or Iggy or (honestly I forget who it was) playing a game. Given the nature of the store one presumes the pic in question was actually taken at CBs. But I dunno.

The machine? Capt Fantastic.

A bus uses diesel instead of gas because torque.

Those circumstances to the crown I would kinda expect. But Liberty’s arm looks smaller, just a vertical tube and a single ladder within leading to a platform that accommodates what, four at most? Hard to believe it was ever appropriate for public access, even before ~1916.

Deets, pls! I imagine it’s not good for a claustrophobic. Is it an arduous climb, one at a time? How many can fit at the top?
