It is but once you actually have to maintain or fix them its not as quick with machinery compared to asphalt, walking or driving on them in DUMBO where the upkeep is not the best is not fun.

The HVAC of the train car has constant air changes, more frequent after COVID so technically not. Now if the HVAC was broken especially in the summer okay, then we have problem.

Most people that smoke on the train are doing joints or vaping, haven't experienced a cig smoker.

Reply to MTA Doubles Down on Construction Costs by michaelmvm
Why don't they just focus on spending that capital money on upgrading all the lines to CBTC and maintain the current system or replace all the old rolling stock with new more-modern cars before trying to force more new extension projects, there is already a cascade of issues to resolve.

They still use the centuries old signal system hence why it breaks down frequently.

Yep, Charlotte isn't competitive compared to NYC obviously.

Definitely but the idea is that they get guaranteed payments and on time from the government.

My friend flips homes to rent out to Section 8 in the southeast and doesn't seem to be a problem. Some residents certainly can cause trouble but that's the general risk of renting out property and it's a small operation.

I remember 15+ years ago in OG southern Brooklyn where there used to be 10 pizzerias within a mile they were already charging $1.50 a slice.

2 slices for $3, seriously that is a great deal nowadays.

Yeah, I believe the Manhattan Hmarts operate under a different entity hence why even their Manhattan delivery service is separate from the rest of the NY area and NJ.

Packaging is better but quality depends on if you know what you're doing. Hmart has a lot more plastic which obviously is great for visuals but not for the sea turtles. I personally avoid buying produce and fresh stuff there because of the prices, although sometimea comparing prices to veggies in Chinatown some are actually reasonable.

It's a Korean market bro, the only cheese Koreans eat is a form of low moisture mozz and American cheese. It's a stereotype among us in Korea but it's true.

The one in Koreatown is avoid at all cost. Rather drive over to Bayside, those are superior. Mega Hmarts in the West are awesome.

There is no alternative you're paying for brand and Manhattan rent. Try using Hmart delivery or apps like Say Wee.
jae343 t1_jctiscu wrote
Hmart prices for many items are a few dollars or 25% more compared to even in Manhattan Chinatown so it's fine if you can afford it especially the meats and seafood.
Being East Asian I still definitely go occasionally if I really need certain items at a moment's notice but other than that I get better deals ordering from Hmart delivery and Asian grocery apps.

This is more of a developer cutting costs and not listening to engineers unfortunately, the client always wins if they want to save a few million. This is the same developer that owns the very nice Olympia condo in DUMBO right next to the BK bridge.

Because inflation and demand, my house was worth $300k in 2000 now it's close to a million. My neighborhood isn't wealthy at all but it attracts working class families that can afford decent mortgages.
And to answer your question if I'm a real estate agent or not why does that matter...? But no I'm not. Although but I understand the absolutely stupid bureaucracy to get things done in this city, the technical feasibility in terms of construction, design, code, finances, etc more than your average person.

This ain't about sympathy, you're all about emotions not actual practicality or feasibility. Plenty of that here, just don't see real solutions mostly useless rants.

I tested this out awhile ago, a store ran out of food so they gave me a a double the value of gift cards instead which was random. Seems like a great app for folks that love bagels, bread, pastries and pizza.
