restricting supply doesnt work, but neither does entrusting basically all new construction to giant companies who definitely are for sure 100% legitimate and above board. it also doesnt help that the budget for the city is completely mismanaged

airbnb didnt help, but not for the reasons we think. if it was actually a bunch of people that just rented out their space i wouldnt care, but it was megacorps buying up massive amounts of properties. also theyre always gonna move the goalpoasts so there isnt gonna be a win ever

Reply to How to clean thrifted leather shoes? by AM03__
Isopropyl alcohol will clean them really well. You need to condition them after though because otherwise the alcohol will dry out the leather a lot. Can't speak to the brand but that's how I clean my boots and sneakers

Reply to Downtown safety by Fearless-Week9498
Nah the ghost of peter Stuyvesant haunts that area and kills passerbys because we keep moving his statue it's very dangerous/s (hopefully obviously)
Downtown is one of the safest areas of the city. Tbh if you mind your business every neighborhood is fine (I know it comes off as rude but I mean this sincerely this city is pretty safe)

Reply to Want to know why NY metro housing is expensive? Answer in NYTimes OP-ED by Blecher_onthe_Hudson
Low density development bad. Rent is too damn high. Jobs pay too little. There's already empty housing available to rent/buy but it's not as profitable as tearing it down and just building new stuff

in the future when it gets this cold its a good idea to let the water drip from your faucet even when youre not using it. it isnt a guarantee but it helps long enough to keep them from bursting due to freeze so they can thaw
as for your landlord. you can withhold rent until they come and fix the issue. if they want to take you to court then they wont have a case because theyre responsible for the property and it wasnt you who damaged it

Nah it's cool. I wasn't offended, I was just being sarcastic because we get a lot of people asking similar questions. This city has definitely seen a decrease in crime (though that would come with being priced out of the area). This city used to be kinda like that 20ish years ago but it's not like that now. The only part of my post that you should have taken seriously is the queen's and eastward thing because you'll save a lot of time commuting for basically the same rent prices you would see here if not less

I was unaware BIFL bed toppers were a thing. Sheets I understand but I've had the same quilt and comforter since I was old enough to make the decision for myself

honestly its not a big difference between the leaf and some other good double edge razors anyway. i have a gilette my grandad used in korea that goes for about the same price but i prefer the leaf in every way, especially since i use it to shave my head and not just my neck

No problem. I'm waiting on this as well for my elite series 2 because $180 is a lot for a controller and I'll be damned if I get rid of it for any reason that isn't replaced fully by mouse and keyboard

There's nothing I can recommend ATM. They'll all get drift. I would wait for a company to come out with hall effect drop in replacement sticks and repair what you have with those
