Also it's not like just an NYC problem. You can find similar stories from many cities and countries. It sucks, but it's not like we're the only place that got things wrong in the end in some way.

hey, we may get lucky. I haven't seen any evidence so far that the GOP has learned any lessons from fumbling the midterms. Meanwhile, there does seem to be a civil war quickly escalating between him and the Trumpers

They talked about it a bit in Crinacle's Audeze factory tour. Wasn't surprising that their gaming headphones plus the LCD-1 are made in China, but what did surprise me was the diaphragms are all made in California, even for those

That's what we have neighborhoods for?

Earlier this year a homeless dude outside Penn Station followed me and said he was going to kill me because I took a picture of one of the skyscrapers under construction. If they're building 10 more skyscrapers now, yall stay alert for that guy

I feel like people in this comment thread are missing the part where Caroline's is in the middle of Times Square. I'm sad that they're closing it, as I'm a big stand-up fan, but it's not like this was some neighborhood gem in the LES being replaced by corporate real estate or something.

Definitely not the most inviting public space. I wonder if more things were planned and cut for budget, or if it was more like intentionally not making anywhere for people to lounge because then homeless people might go there. They did somewhat recently throw in some seating at the end of the hallway that leads to 4WTC, but that's a long way from the terminal/central area.

Yeah I'm wondering if whoever buys the mall off Westfield will rent it to less high-end places
AFAIK a big part of this weirdness is that there was a more normal mall in the old WTC, and Westfield leased the retail rights to it for 99 years literally a month before 9/11. As part of the rebuilding, at some point it was decided the mall, new PATH station, and connection between every building (plus the World Financial Center) would be combined into one sprawling project.

The Oculus is a different story, IMO. Westfield bought the retail rights to the mall at the WTC from the Port Authority for $1.4 Billion. They sure as shit weren't going to make that amount of money back with Pizza Hut Expresses, so they have gone pretty up-scale with the tenants to make money (along with other stuff like packing in kiosks and installing LED advertising screens everywhere they could).
That being said, the company that bought Westfield is apparently trying to dump all their US mall properties, so things may change a lot in the Oculus in the coming years.
