Javits center is actually being used for its intended purpose now, as opposed to during the height of Covid.

They were temperature controlled and those arent traditional “camping tents”, the walls are quite thick. It really wouldn’t have been unpleasant at all.

What a beautiful piece of history 🥰.

Didn’t we spend $1 billion of NYC taxpayer money on the “migrant crisis”

Did you happen to visit East NY or the south Bronx?

People downvoting have no consideration for the drastic rise in Asian hates crimes that have occurred over the past couple of years.

But but that’s CrImInAlIziNg PoVeRTy

The “comedian” who wrote this article DEFINITELY works from home.

The city’s with the high rates of crime in those “red states” are all run by democrats though.

Don’t forget the artwork! And crime has had a megathread now for the past few weeks so no need to worry about that!

Maybe a micromobility megathread is due then! Could have all of these discussions in centralized thread instead of all over the place.

What’s the point of having a micromobilityNYC sub when everything just gets reposted here?

It’s definitely not because they’re “softer on crime”. Japan has extremely strict drug laws, for example. Mere possession, even in small amounts, usually leads to years of jail time. Something that here you would even be bothered for.

We also just simply have more people that break the law, tell me any other first world country where you can shoplift 100 times and still be walking the streets. I can promise you in Japan, for example, that would not be the case.

And what happens if/most likely when they’re found inevitably guilty. Are we then okay with the prison sentence? Or do we just want to get rid of jails all together? The majority of people on rikers have violent priors, that’s the reality of the situation.

I mean does anyone think strangulation should be a bailable offense? If anything it shows how we should be harder on violent assaults and have them be a no bail offense across the board, not that there should be no pretrial incarceration which is what many people are implying.

The OP of the other thread who apparently put up these signs did say it was targeted at electric scooters as well, or any vehicle that goes 35+ mph.

This was literally just posted and removed. Assuming the mods don’t want this sub to turn into a micromobility/bike crosspost sub. Maybe a micromobility mega thread isn’t the worst idea.

Hotel’s are back to being trendy. It was fun while is lasted, Airbnb.

Since the mayor and governor started this new safety initiative fare jumping summonses have increased exponentially. That should give the MTA a nice boost in revenue.

They just need a little more. They’re super serious that it’ll be spent efficiently this time!

Of the people that are applying *. Obviously there aren’t 0 people applying to be police officers.

Also, the people that are joining are largely PoC, no one talks about how we have probably the most diverse police dept on the country. Gotta love white elitist that scream that PoC police officers are somehow “racist”.

You live in Tennessee.

It might surprise you, but people aren’t exactly lining up to be a cop these days.
