Reply to comment by chargeorge in “Adams Plan Would Relax Rules for Developers Amid N.Y.C. Housing Crisis” The mayor proposed reducing requirements that he said slow the construction of new homes as the city contends with a housing crisis. by CactusBoyScout

They got burnt out during the pandemic. A plan examiner makes 65k starting but has to have a masters and years of experience. They have degrees in architecture. The salary can’t compete with the private sector of even other cities.

The ones who left got burnt out. During COVID the commissioner had to be reminded of overtime rules because plan examination was being overworked. The return to office was the last straw.

So a city that taxes us so far up the ass crack that it implements its own 3+% local income tax cannot compete with other municipalities in terms of salaries for its employees? The fuck are our tax dollars paying for then?

I swear if there was one reason to live outside city lines, it’s so that I don’t have to send an additional $8000 a year in local taxes alone to the morons who run this town
