@DAOofthe10k @JaR45 @LizMair Now is it still him playing up the relevance for extra attention on the issue? Sure, but that's politics in a nutshell.

@DAOofthe10k @JaR45 @LizMair People who visit cities for major events usually partake in other activities in the area while they are visiting. Especially given there are multiple games with days of downtime in between.
Such tourists riding a bike over an famous bridge is hardly a stretch of the imagination.

The “NYC” World Cup venue is at MetLife in NJ. What does the Brooklyn Bridge have to do with this?
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
We’re building the Manhattan-side bike lane and pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge in time for the World Cup. New Yorkers deserve to enjoy the game on their feet, on their bikes, and with ease.

Wait if all of the Bronx is in Tier 7, where does Sam think Soundview is?

And like a real herb, he deleted the post.

@richmintz @Jackiii36 @ZohranKMamdani Not to mention both his office and his home are public knowledge. He's not exactly in hiding.

@Jackiii36 @ZohranKMamdani the guy is out in public like 20 hours a day, he's easy to find

perfect weather last night for a bike ride home

@cbernaut @JCPolancoNYC @NYCMayor Not what was said. The point of the post — which I agree with — is that it's easier to get the public to engage in meaningful dialogue on the issues when the Mayor goes out of his way to make his position (and the issues in general) clearer to understand.
English
@JCPolancoNYC @NYCMayor So demonstrably failed ideas are OK if you make a propaganda video?

I've been an educator for 26 years and an attorney for 20. I have to give @NYCMayor credit. He's taking complex issues, making them digestible for people to dissect. I do this in my classroom and the courtroom. Obviously, he is presenting them as he sees them. I don't agree with him on 89% of things, but who cares? This is solid pedagogy. Sometimes they're silly, though, skip the taco TikToks.

Who decides whether or not stabilized rents are raised? Meet the Rent Guidelines Board. Here's what you should know about the board and how to make your voice heard.

@vicki4088389843 @katefeetie @katie_honan They are, and for good reason. It would still benefit us to not knee jerk react to every single thing we see that confirms our belief without context.

They’re doing a whole series featuring many different salaries …

This is who The New York Times is for. If that's not you, you shouldn't be reading it.

@EqualAccessNy2 @Gothamist This wasn't your space, you replied to an article. I still engaged when you got rude, because I didn't really care. YOU'RE the one who started whining about how I said my parts. But I'm just feeding the troll at this point. 😉
English
@TerrellFMerritt @Gothamist Just like u walked in here freely. "Remember it's social media"🤌 u entered my space. You gotta play by my rules. And if you don't like it, and what I am saying, or how I'm saying it. you could walk right back out. And go find somebody else to bitch with thanks for stopping by 😁

NY lawmakers, transit union makes fresh push to enshrine 2-person subway crews

@EqualAccessNy2 @Gothamist You saying, "I can wipe my butt with what you think," is not a patient or respectful response to me giving a reasonable response to a conversation *you* started. If that's how you speak when you're being patient, I'll pass on continuing this.
English
@TerrellFMerritt @Gothamist Listen Avery Spears, don't get cute. I'm trying to be patient and respectful at the same time. Don't become an asshole because I can turn to let's just continue to keep this on the correct road.

English
@EqualAccessNy2 @Gothamist You definitely don't have to care what I think. But the same way you offered your opinion on a post where nobody asked you to, I replied with my own opinion. That's how social media works.
I don't have any expectations of you beyond that, so if you're not interested, ok.
English
@TerrellFMerritt @Gothamist So let me ask you a question. I don't know you, you don't know me. So what makes me go into the business of caring that you don't agree with I can wipe my butt with what you think.
English
@Glen_Binnie @JefeJengibre @mornings0da (especially if they're not actually going. because otherwise what are you going to do with that information? LOL)
English
@Glen_Binnie @JefeJengibre @mornings0da I accept that some don't. I just don't see the utility of that question as "conversation". If I want to make small talk, I'd ask them about their experience. And if I was unfamiliar, I'd look it up.
In my opinion, asking someone if it's North of somewhere else is just random.
English
A couple years ago when I didn’t know anything about NY, I met a lady from the Bronx at work. I was like that’s north of Manhattan right? And she was like “the Bronx is the Bronx. It’s its own thing” I was like ok but where is it and she simply would not tell me
English
@Glen_Binnie @JefeJengibre @mornings0da "oh is the place you live north of somewhere else?" is a weak conversation line, for what it's worth. A dead-end question.
English
@JefeJengibre @mornings0da She was just having a conversation, not actually going there.
English
@EqualAccessNy2 @Gothamist I understand what you said, I just don't agree.
Similarly, you said you don't understand why someone could want OPTO, but now you don't care what/where is already done. Seems like you DO understand, but don't agree with the other side.
I'll stay tuned for your statement though.
English
@TerrellFMerritt @Gothamist Don't worry. I'll put my full statement out. You obviously don't understand what I said. This is a stupid idea. I don't care what is already done or where or what has to be put in place Stupid is stupid, is stupid 😉 👍 #EqualAccess
English
@EqualAccessNy2 @Gothamist We'd have to make changes before NYC can go full one-person train operation for sure. But we already do it on some lines, it's common elsewhere, this isn't rocket science.
My biggest issue: this shouldn't be state law. Leave it dealt w/ by collective bargaining as it should be.
English
@Gothamist I cannot understand how somebody would want a train engineer to handle all of their responsibilities plus the safety of the passengers all by themselves. It's absolutely ridiculous.
English
@TheTimHunter @NYCCFB My friend, congratulations on incredible work done at CFB, and so proud to see you continue to grow with this new role!!
English
Some personal news: Today was my last day working at the @NYCCFB. The past 3 years serving as the Press Secretary for the strongest public financing system in the country has truly been a blessing and I’m thankful to the coworkers, reporters, and NYers I’ve met along the way.
English
@yearninquilab @ShabazzStuart This is the part that gets me. Bringing ID makes sense to me, but most people don't just have a copier these days and the libraries are closed. The walk-in sites should have a copier for this purpose.
English
@ShabazzStuart plus copies, they want people to go around making copies on a snow day
English
It's not really an emergency if you're asking people for passport IDs, two forms of ID and their original security card and then saying pay arrives in 4-6 weeks.
Mark D. Levine@MarkLevineNYC
NYC has put out call for emergency snow shovelers. Will help remove snow/ice citywide from bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants etc. Pay starts at $19.14/hr. To sign up, go to any DSNY garage tomorrow 8am-1pm with ID & two small photos. Details and application form: nyc.gov/site/dsny/care…
English
@AdviserCounsel @michelletandler @chayesmatthew Exactly this. Most people would prefer to know the final price and not be caught off guard, if you bake the price in, the consumer can plan accordingly. Why are we trying to justify miscellaneous hidden fees?
English
@michelletandler @chayesmatthew Agree that they will be baked in and hotels will simply increase prices.
I think I’d rather have transparent pricing and true comparison pricing.
If that causes some short-term distortion, then so be it. The border-line fraud in pricing should stop.
English
Mayor Mamdani is banning so-called junk fees at NYC hotels — resort fees, surprise credit card holds, deposits, etc. New rule starts in a month.
English
@AndyLevinson2 @LauraLoomer Not uncommon. There's the act of doing a swearing in at midnight, which not every mayor does publicly (although Adams very famously did it in Times Square) — in that case they then do a public one when the sun is up.
Gov. Hochul did something similar when she was sworn in.

Again @amazon truck setting up in the middle of rush hour traffic, next to completely empty metered commercial parking spots. Third Avenue and East 85th. Disgraceful that this goes ignored by the thousands of traffic agents. The congestion is manufactured.

@SLeigh73238 @EveExamines @DGreenbaum Voter fraud is low my @$$
NYC is a breeding ground for voter fraud
English
Can someone explain to me the logical reason why anyone is against voter ID at the ballot? I just voted in New York. I didn’t need to show ID. All I needed to know was my address. Literally anyone could have shown up and voted for me. What is the liberal argument against voter id? I genuinely do not understand. How is this not a common sense thing everyone supports?
