People who order overpriced food don't need the tax revenue.

I wouldn't want a ticking bomb with unauthorized ebikes on my tax dollars either. Why are we subsidizing multi-billion dollar companies that are not contributing anything to society?

Reply to comment by -Tony in Consultants Gone Wild by ToffeeFever
Yeah, I am one of those consultants and work with MBTA, OGS, and NYCSCA often. They basically outsource the work they don't have people to do in-house. We are called "consultants" just because we are a third party in most cases.

They should ask their bosses for bathrooms. Oh wait, they are their own bosses.

That's the point. Why would companies subsidize it while they can just push the cost to he customers.

Reply to comment by kjuneja in How NYC Co-Ops Are Saving Themselves by Breaking Their Own Rules by bikeskata
>The early response has been positive, if modest. Even if prices haven’t skyrocketed, the time Manhattan’s luxury co-ops are staying on the market has plummeted, dropping 49% in the second quarter from the same period a year before, according to an Elliman report.
Comparing the prices to those a year ago is a myopic approach to assessing the impact of introducing financing options. The home purchasing sentiment index is down 18% compared to a year ago across the entire country.

Reply to comment by atari_Pro in New York’s ‘zombie’ office towers teeter as interest rates rise by rootbeer_racinette
>Some obsolete office buildings may be converted to residential, which, in theory, would help to ease New York City’s chronic shortage of housing. But that is easier said than done, say many experts. It would require zoning changes. Even then, many office buildings may not be suitable candidates for residential conversions — either because their floor plates are too large, their elevators are wrongly situated, their windows do not open or their neighbourhoods are unappealing. To make such projects worthwhile, owners would have to sell at deep discounts.
They're not saying it's not a suitable alternative. They suggest there are many factors that owners need to consider before moving on with the projects. Why would they convert to residential buildings if there are no prospective tenants that can cover for their investment?

I mean yes, everything boils down to cost and return on investment. How is that a surprise? I currently work on 8 feasibility studies for turning high-rise office spaces into residential buildings.

No, I meant 120 euros (as in 125 dollars) per month (as in a 30 day period).

Currencies other than dollars exist. 120 euros/month isn't unheard of in Europe.

MTA doesn't write specs - they provide spec requirements/format at best.
Wrong size part issue is either a fabrication or shop drawing issue. Which is the responsibility of the fabricator and engineer on record. Or could be on the contractor who did the field verification.

>since the years the workers were working from home were some of your most profitable
Our staff was also getting sick during that period. That means getting sick is good for business. We should demand c-suite to get staff sick on a regular basis to keep those profits up.
