Elizabeth Street Garden is one of the most beautiful parks in NYC and the only park in SoHo. Next week, the city plans to sell it to a builder for $1, and it’s set to become a homeless shelter. If someone wanted to destroy a neighborhood, it’s hard to imagine a better plan than

Mind-blowing how effective congestion pricing is. Lower Manhattan streets remain completely empty. It's an important lesson to remember: how price-conscious the typical consumer is - a daily $9 fee changed the entire landscape of NYC. Lower Manhattan is going to really boom now

Google must be embarrassed that a startup has built a product so superior to its offering for many searches. I expect Google search to get a lot better in the next year as they are pressured by real competition for the first time.

More people will want to live here, more restaurants + businesses will open, more new buildings will be built. NYC is the most walkable place in the country but the experience was brutal because of the cars, traffic, honking, air pollution, etc.

Balaji (@balajis) keeps making this hilarious and fair point that banks not marking their bonds to market is the same as SBF posting those spreadsheets showing that FTX wasn’t insolvent because they owned FTT and other shitcoins that were worth $10 billion at the peak of crypto

That street is all self-storage buildings, parking lots, abandoned retail, etc. - because it's the Holland Tunnel entrance, it is kind of abandoned by pedestrians. When Disney moves in, things will get better.

People are still coming. That street has never had much in the way of pedestrian traffic - it's basically the entrance to the Holland Tunnel.
