Not even close IMO. Is true that there are more druggies in the East coast from DC to Boston now , specially post pandemic . But I don’t think is even close to anywhere in the west coast like LA, SF, Seattle , etc

Agree

Like in all cities , I’m sure the living experience is directly related to your type of work , income , neighborhood and personal life .

Rapes are also down , and the ones that are up are not up by that much .

Violent Crime is down for the year , and mostly flat on all other stats . Zeldin had some good proposals but I don’t think he would have made a difference other than firing Bragg. If Albany makes these changes , they will avoid losing in the next election. Democrats are just doing the smart thing here , otherwise they will get wiped out if they can’t listen to the polls

I mean is obvious that this is a policy that most New Yorkers and liberals in general support. I don’t get the point of people being a contrarian on this

That was a bad period for sure and some of them were provoked altercations between two or more people . Millions ride it daily and the overall safety has improved since then . Is not 100% sure , nothing is really. But definitely one of the safe method of transportation

Yes

Or at the very least to keep it hybrid , when they can actually gather around during important meetings and projects maybe once a week

I agree 100%, is beneficial for both the employers and employees . The only people that unfortunately lose in this transactions are business owners near office areas.

WFH won’t go away , most downtowns in the US and in other parts of the world I assume changed .

Nimbys won’t like it , but a lot of these lines should be extended into the western parts of Suffolk county

This would be a game changer , Manhattan and to a big extent any other part of any borough, including the north shore of Staten Island , all have great access to public transit . But once you go deeper into the other boroughs is start to get a little more difficult . Is still accessible , but it takes too long to go from south Brooklyn to Astoria , the Bronx , and many other places

Is already safe , what they need is to have a Brooklyn-Queens-Bronx line and redo some of the bus lines and express services

So NYC has always been expensive I see 😂

That’s what I say , nyc gets a bad rep as a dirty city . But there are many neighborhoods where people would get surprised at how clean it is

Yeah, nyc subways don’t look as nice and neat as Tokyos or Seoul. But is good enough , they can make some improvements . But as far as your average big city goes is pretty damn good. MTA just needs to make more effort at avoiding delays .

This is good but what about banning corporations from owning more than 10 units , or actually , for each aditional unit past 10 they should pay like a 80% tax to discourage excess buying

Do you guys remember that Twitter post from Andrew Yang riding the A train saying it was a Bronx bound train , even though the A never touches the Bronx ? https://twitter.com/andrewyang/status/1366418937261547522?s=46&t=cUyI7tScNl2B4P1uMBMnWw

I like seeing common sense responses in this thread . Is the same logic as why would you replace a perfectly working car after 4 or 5 years.

Damn I didn’t realize that , I guess that’s also why numbered lines and lettered lines don’t share platforms . Good to know

Nah, the A is pretty chill in Manhattan

When are they expecting to implement it in the 2,4,5,6, B and D lines ?

People are so negative 😂😂😂

For 2. The smell won’t travel far if the new train has very good ventilation and filters, also since the one car is much bigger you can escape the smell by moving to the other side of the car . In the unlikely event that somebody is following you is easy for the conductor to notice you, think of it as a big underground bus .
