Perfect example of a reddit debate lord trying to argue over everything right here.

There were ad hoc construction delays and they gave some good advice on where to go and what trains to take to navigate the construction? Even if it was something that was easily googleable it doesn't mean they weren't helpful to me.

This is really common in old Northeast cities but especially here in the bigger cities. I used to live in Philly and saw this happen many times, and I've seen it in Brooklyn where I live now as well. Just goes to show how durable stone based roads are compared to asphalt.

One time I asked them for help. After stumbling to get out of focus from their sudoku, they were actually really helpful. But I don't know what their purpose actually is since people comfortably jump the turnstile in front of them all the time.

Kinda sad if they are trimming a portion of the park to end up in the sea. I work in the area and really enjoy the waterfront which is across the street from my office. Two years of construction (probably a lot more) is a bit of a pain even though I agree it is necessary.

You're welcome! Cars are indeed asscrack.

Cars are ass. I have a car, I have to keep it because the rest of America sucks and I'd be forced to buy one at a huge markup again. Needless insurance expense, needless repairs, needless gas expense.

Looks like either 4th street or 3rd street or 5th off of Christian and Washington Ave.

Just because public transportation is used by poor people in America and the experience isn't that great doesn't mean that public transportation isn't used by everyone in other affluent countries. It's a pretty bad argument to just say that cars are better because poor people use public transportation or that cars are better because it's a socioeconomic upgrade for people on an individual level. None of that matters and frankly most of the things you mention don't even relate to eachother, like Lyft being in cahoots with luxury condo developers to to build more condos and increase citibike dependency? Lmao what? Like yeah man Citibank or Lyft or whatever is really trying to change the American fabric of transportation for its bike schemes, fuck banking or rideshares it's totally biking where the real profits are. I like not needing a car ever, the subway is the greatest thing and it only exists in NYC when it comes to America.

And miss me with that poor people shit because I grew up taking the bus in California, that shit sucks ass but I'm not dumb enough to think the problem is the bus when it's the fact that everything was A. designed for a car my family could not afford. and B. A lack of beefed up public transportation options.

No, people who don't want cars because it's better to have cities designed like European cities with better public transportation and not depend on a car that is expensive and costly to maintain are behind the "fuckcars" thing. That philosophy includes saying fuck rideshare cars as well.

I'm surprised and happy this visual data resource exists. I was able to look through some of the shootings that happened in front of my house in 2020.

I think they think we think it would be Queens. Though it could have been Staten Island. Definitely not Brooklyn or Manhattan, but obviously it was the Bronx since most people think South Bronx when they think Bronx and not how upstatey it can kinda get.

It absolutely sucks to drive in this city. Honestly I want to not ever own a car but because of how ridiculously expensive things are I'm pretty much forced to keep a car I barely use but still pay insurance on. I drove across the country and supplemented income with courier work. Pay was decent in some of the most unsuspecting cities such as the midwest and mountain states, even some populated west coast cities. But once I got to NYC it was over, it's impossible to compete with legions of people on scooters who do it all day, often because it's the only work available to them. The picking were slim, you could forget the bonuses at certain times, and the traffic and parking and ticketing were a nightmare. Not much better for delivery drivers in general, very tough city to work in for that kind of stuff.

Honestly shut down all 40k. Fuck Airbnb. 40,000 new apartments and rooms on the market would definitely help.

Bro I moved from Philly to NYC. In Philly I never used the trains because they hardly got you anywhere and they were sketchy as fuck.

Boot & Saddle's closure hit pretty hard. I lived within walking distance and it was a great beacon in the area. Really great acts showed up there for inexpensive ticket prices. When it closed it was like a blacking out and dimming a shining light in the area both figuratively and literally with that gorgeous neon sign being unlit. I'm glad the torch is carried on as a venue, though.
