Lmao I knew it was gonna be some stupid semantic response like this

QED

Honestly dude I regret replying, your vibe is atrocious and I feel worse for having interacted with you, plus I genuinely don’t give a shit how you cook your rice

It’s easier than tending a pot for 20 minutes, frees up attention to cook other things

Also idk how often you eat rice but we have it with basically every meal

We should teach people to abstain from sketchy drugs

If you’re buying legal cocaine from a regulated pharmacy or something, snort away

You’ve had 90 jobs in 25 years?

That’s a new one every quarter, you must be a terrible employee

Tl;dr because new skyscrapers are more narrow than old ones, and narrower skyscrapers take more time to build than wide floor plans with comparable total floor space.

Hey, liking trains isn’t just for autistic people

George Santos is D.B. Cooper

Yeah, because Manhattan used to be an industrial hub. But then it got too difficult to move all of the manufactured goods across the Hudson and everyone moved their operations to New Jersey or elsewhere. There are a lot of modern manufacturing companies that were founded in NYC between 1870 and 1930.

As someone who works in manufacturing, the number of textiles factories I expected to see in the garment district was 0, not 20+ lol.

Well, I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be a lot or a little because the garment district isn’t very large.

But if you google “garment district factories” there really are a lot of them, especially for midtown.

Total, or specifically for manufacturing?

There are still a lot of textile factories in the garment district, they’re just high up so you don’t see them

I thought ezpz would let on that I was being sarcastic

Oh, then just make all of the roads cost the same and the traffic situation won’t change

Ezpz

I do appreciate the breakdown, though

I’m not sure I see your point re:congestion pricing

Dig a deep tunnel in stable ground. That’s what they’re doing on 2nd Ave. I don’t know if they can do it without enormous cost, though.

Can we just get rid of it? New York was fine for 200 years without it and other cities have experienced success just eliminating waterfront highways (Seattle & SF) + west side elevated highway

> Maybe people would use the MTA

Dog what

Yeah you right

I’m not trying to discount your experience at all, but in my experience the general supply chain doesn’t really work the same way it used to. Things that used to be readily available off-the-shelf have a 4 to 26 week lead time now, including specialty fasteners, electronic components, mechanical components for electronics, etc..

Companies are quoting me 6-9 months for small testing equipment, PCBA’s were over a year lead time, etc..

This is more a manufacturing perspective than a construction perspective, but IMO it’s just more difficult/takes longer/more expensive to make things right now.
