You can find plenty of places in the heights for less than 2k, too.

And south park and Lawndale are also not affordable, relative to local household incomes. You can make a statistic do whatever you want.

That's because Harris County is four times the size of NYC. You can find a decently affordable home out in Paterson, too.

Are you lost? Are you illiterate? We're not talking about NYC, we're talking about new jersey, and where did I say that rents in Houston were as bad as nyc?

Lmao Houston rents have been skyrocketing for more than a decade.
My college apartment that I paid $200 a month for in 2006 is listed now for l 2k a month and it still looks like the windows don't close all the way. You can find cheap rent in Katy or Clear Lake but that's like saying you can find cheap rent in Allentown.

Even still. If you need 60 mil in repairs you're still at the same price as one of the billionaire's row penthouses. Given the choice, I know what I'm spending my tax return on.

People who's entire job is sending emails love to complain about people who sacrifice their own bodies for the sake of keeping this city alive.

Yeah, if there's waste and graft, it's in no show jobs and management consultants. The guys on location are there for a reason. I don't know shit about track replacement, but I'd imagine some of those guys are keeping eyes on a specific point to make sure that track comes down properly, and then as soon as it's down each has a job to do so they can get to the next one as fast as practicable.

The Cop Cycle:
Step 1: Blame high crime(existence of high crime unnecessary) on an insufficiently deferent city and demand more money.
Step 2: Get massive check
Step 3: Do nothing
Step 4: Return to Step 1.

Nah, if you've never dealt with them on a personal level, 90% of sovcits are firmly of the "laws for thee but not for me" mind.

>I feel like there is a sick dynamic where the drag queens want the protestors to come out so they can say “see, people hate us”. They feed on it as some sort of negative validation.
I'm curious what gives you this feeling.

A couple late nights I've gotten away with knocking on the windows of cars with tlc plates and offering them 40-50 bucks cash for a ride to jersey. A lot of the drivers live in jersey and have the NY tlc plates and will be fishing for a fare that takes them across the river.

Lmao no its not. It's a feature of the model but it's not the entire model. All of those library systems that have pick up/drop off services also invest heavily in their main campus and branches.
You're just parroting shit you heard in a TedX talk from a some asshole who wants to turn libraries into a business.
