- How many NYC policy failures can we fit in one image challengeHey man you can’t park there
- Replying to @andrewbsternIt would be clearly illegal to have people skip ahead in the voting line based on race or gender, I don’t see why age is different.
- Prior to 2003, @MTA NYCT had 1600 full-time engineers and program management employees, performing 60% of capital project design and 95% of construction management. By 2011, they had just 124 employees. We hollowed out the agency’s capacity to build.A question I wish our elected officials were asking is, why is the MTA hiring a consultant to oversee its contractors? Why is that not something they have internal capacity for?

Why is that not something they have internal capacity for?The MTA plans to issue a $186 million contract for a consultant to oversee construction of the Second Avenue subway extension to East Harlem, according to documents published by the agency on Friday. gothamist.com/news/mta-plans…
- Replying to @andrewbsternTo be clear, there might a good justification for it given the heatwave—but it still seems illegal at the moment. Maybe we should amend state law creating exceptions for heatwaves! It should probably cover other people with heat-related risk factors, illnesses, etc as well.
- You know the number of new homes built in midtown Manhattan every year is just… a number you can google? And in CB5, which covers most of midtown, that number was just 19. 19 homes.This is why midtown Manhattan is one of the cheapest places to live in the world
- Replying to @Uncrewed and @TheDrewSavI wanna talk to the 14 people who wrote in… JD Vance? Guy who loves JD Vance but isn’t into this Trump guy (x14)
- Replying to @AlexNowrastehWe also subsidize highways and roads substantially. If we stopped those subsidies and allowed people to live near transit—ie absent zoning regulations—train subsidies wouldn't be very necessary either.
- 🙋♂️ I don’t want places that look like this Non grade-separated trams? Middling density in the most desirable and transit-connected areas of the city? The US already has this. We shouldn’t aspire to Dutch urbanism, we should aspire to Asian urbanism.
- this is great! but what happened to the bike lane bestie
Right now, 70% of the people on Fifth Avenue are pedestrians but they can only use less than HALF of the space! That's going to change under the plan we rolled out to completely transform Fifth Avenue into a WORLD-CLASS pedestrian-centered boulevard. Learn more: - Ambulance stuck at a standstill in Lower Manhattan gridlock. No wonder we have some of the slowest emergency response times in the country, we also have the worst traffic in America. NYC needs congestion pricing.
