This guy needs to move to Florida

Right wing men love the word “cuck”

6:30 - 8:30. As an incentive, I'll be there too!

Mommy and Daddy pay all the bills so he’s got money to waste

This is at least the fourth MAGA sign, the first was stolen, as was the second, the third was night vision pic of the guy who stole the 2nd sign "Stop The Steal".

“A New Haven man who used a dead child’s name to purchase an assault weapon - part of a stockpile of illegal assault weapons was apologetic at his sentencing in federal court Thursday.”

It seems like this only applies to built structures? A bunch of the places on college just put out tables and chairs, and aren't mentioned here really.

Then let's have that long discussion. I agree there's a place for everything you mentioned to a point, but the city has thousands and thousands of unused spaces. The area these take up isn't nearly as large as, say, Hartford, but it's still a big portion of the city's most valuable land. There are strides being made, but it's not enough yet.

There's no reason New Haven couldn't lead the charge in vision zero and safe streets in its class of mid-sized cities.

Can confirm! Such a welcoming space!!

Thank you for doing the hard work for us 😇

this is exactly it!!

I did scan the QR code, it links to a video of what I can only assume is the sign maker harassing the alderman about the BLM sign outside of Edgewood School

taxes

Are you talking about taxes or tolls?

Yeah it’s my fault the buses suck, I pay for the metro north so I’m basically keeping that line afloat all by myself by your logic. Listen the system is broken and no amount of attitude is gonna fix it at this point. I’m amazed that things have hung on as long as they have, we’re going to be living in mad max territory real soon. Either that or a fascist dystopia, or some fucked up combination of the two.

State St, Never Ending Books Volume II, has a trans club and lots of queer ppl hang out there all the time! Open 5-8

don't you get roads to drive your car on in exchange for a fee

This attitude is exactly why we don’t have better and cheaper public transit. I’ll take whatever I can for free but refuse to contribute to any sort of common good if it isn’t an obvious immediate direct benefit…

A slight bit more convenience for people from outside the city driving through, assuming one of the handful of spots directly in front of your destination is even available at any given time, seems like a bad trade off for the significant positive impact outdoor spaces and closures have on everyone actually living and working in and around the neighborhood.

Walking a couple blocks to get where you’re going is pretty normal city parking. But turning that parking space right in front of Arethusa into nice outdoor seating is going to make a lot more people happy and do a lot more for the neighborhood.

I’ve been fighting this for years now over on Orange St. One of the minor (minor, minor) silver linings of Covid was getting the approval for some closures at least temporarily. I’ve been trying to get everything lined up for a permanent situation but it’s really herding cats with all the different entities involved.

The thing that gets me the most is the snow removal bullshit though. We can’t turn this street into a permanent closure because we need to plow it because it’s a street… cool.

Unequivocally having that closure on our block has been a boon to businesses and created a much better sense of community with everyone having places to hang out.

Both have their role. If I get a craving for Arethusa on my way back from the train station, a garage is not a great option.
