Holy buckets man, both malls and Durst are dead, get with the times, and more importantly get off the road with your smug little prius

Yeah, it’s a race thing. Only white people get the email to vote on the next outerwear trend.

“He loved Big Brother.”

Most recently, an article just yesterday that noted Millenials (who are responsible for 99% of everything, apparently) are revitalizing the exurban areas that Gen X and Boomers abandoned. Grain of salt: It’s Business Insider, which is about on par with Buzzfeed for accuracy and reputation.

New York City Council: Bring in as many people as we possibly can! Don’t worry about the infrastructure being able to support such a massive population.

I could live with the wage if the staffing levels were in line with their European counterparts. But when asked why it takes three times as many workers to run a tunnel boring machine here as it does in Europe the union representative said something about he wouldn’t compromise the safety of his members. Again, not…

Hi - actual former commuter here. I rode my motorcycle (all year round) from NJ to Manhattan to work for several years in 2007-2009. Holland Tunnel. Parking cost me nothing but the very occasional ticket. The toll at that time was $6-8, which works out to $2,080 per year out of pocket in 2008 tolls. That motorcycle…

Don’t forget the construction companies and the unions!

We don’t need more “government” jobs. they are kind of like a real estate agent: a suck on the entire process that adds zero value.

Cameras.  Cameras absolutely everywhere.  See London for blueprint.

I don’t see this reducing congestion. People will complain but ultimately, they like the luxury of driving in and will just cave and pay.

Apparently paying for those stupid large touch screens that tell you when the train is not coming.

Big difference. A company decides how to pay for it first, and then plans the work (or vice versa in most cases). In this case, they don’t know how to pay for it nor do they have a plan to make it work.

No, Lyft and Uber will be the only ones not exempt, because it’s in to blame them for everything.

“Though the exact details of such a plan have yet to be ironed out, it’s estimated that a traffic surcharge could generate as much as $15 billion through 2024—money that could then be used to fix the subway, among other things.”

It always amazes me how the government manages to pass something with absolutely no details. I can’t imagine going to my boss and saying “hey, I need to fix this thing that my own mismanagement screwed up. I need a huge sum of money but don’t worry because we don’t need to impact the company at all. Also, I offer zero…

I love this. Their solution is to charge a commuter tax, which no one really wants to pay. And the commuter tax is to prop up the oh-so-efficient MTA. Yeah..we all know where the extra money will be going. Anyway, less drivers on the road = more people commuting by bus, subway, and rail, which will probably put more…

Cities have basically run their course and this is just a symptom. Technology is really doing what it promised by making telecommuting feasible for more people. NYC is long overdue for some downsizing, anyway. It’ll still have all the “culture” (you know, the off-off-Broadway stuff and the Ethiopian restaurants that…

Government: imposes new tax

Am I the only one who thinks its wrong that they are charging people who drive into Manhattan to pay for the crumbling infrastructure of the Subway system?
