sanctuary city is fine, the problem here is they are getting the costs very wrong. $363 daily/$10,890 monthly per immigrant doesn't sound reasonable at all, and it's significantly higher than the living expenses for the majority of us NYC residents.

Anyone saying "small price to pay" is not looking at the details enough or asking enough questions. There is absolutely no reason to believe these ridiculously high costs are just what they are, and that there's no inefficiency/waste/recklessness/corruption.

AND the sales tax.

you'd think by literally profit-sharing our incomes, we'd have a squeaky clean city, modern public transportation and significantly fewer public safety issues.

But no. We pay significantly more than residents of comparable tier one cities across the world, yet get back significantly less.

i get it there are other priorities, but it's only right for the city to pay a little more attention to the priorities of those who, you know, fucking pay the bills.

i'm so fed up with how little NY's elected officials actually cared to represent some of our real interests. From City Council all the way to Albany. All of you elected officials out there ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

> but holy fuck why would you let it just jump on people

and when objected to, their response is always "oh but s/he is friendly". No, friendly doesn't mean a free pass to unsolicited contact. Back the fuck off and respect someone else's boundaries.
