@gtjco I had a car by the second year I immigrated to NYC. Now of course it wasn’t a new car, but it got the job done. Which was transporting construction materials throughout the city. Democrats want to bring us back to the Dark Ages for their purity tests or whatever.

Note: Due to overnight roadwork on Springfield Blvd, there are detours on Q27, Q36, Q88 buses. Q27, Q36, Q88 buses run via 217 St in both directions between Hillside and Jamaica Avs.

These nice people have a kid. Even though they are not exactly financially secure -- they live with a guy in their "den" paying half the rent. Because having a kid (one surmises, because they have a kid) is important to them. They didn't wait until we have childcare for all, guaranteed three-bedroom apartments in Park Slope for all, guaranteed grad degrees from Harvard for all, etc. They just had their kid. Conversely, the rollout of pre-K over the past decade didn't coincide with more people in NYC having kids or more kids ... because if having a kid wasn't important to the potential kid-havers already, the extra incentive didn't make the difference. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@JAllen_NYC Justin’s so popular on Twitter. Maybe I should spend more time on here like he does?

I deleted that post about NYers not believing the rich would leave because it clogged my notifications too much with lunatics.

Millions of deeply devoted followers waiting to be unleashed? What are they going to do, storm City Hall and roam the halls looking for Speaker Menin? Every day this Mamdani guy sounds more and more like Trump.
Asad🗽🍎@AsadFromNYC

“Mamdani has almost 15 million followers, and his base remains deeply devoted. They’re ready for a fight. What happens when the messaging apparatus that helped unravel Cuomo is aimed at someone else? Hochul and Menin may find out sooner rather than later.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…

@gtjco Justin Brannan is a bitter and sad old man who belongs in a retirement home instead of being part of the problem.

@fuelgrannie @EricsRambles @Megmd514 @infopobn @LeVeauNY The dingbats ruining the streets for bicycles make more money than the majority of my bus driver colleagues on overtime. To sit there on Google Maps and plot what street you want to close next shouldn’t be 6 digits. It should land you in psychiatric eval.

What's funny is @gershkuntzman, editor in chief of @StreetsblogNYC, came to an Arrow Linen rezoning hearing in 2024 and told everyone he was being priced out of Windsor Terrace and was moving to Ridgewood. He made $167K in 2024, plus benefits. He's still here.

@JAllen_NYC So when they are admitting this fellow into Creedmoor where he rightfully belongs?

@gtjco @EricsRambles TransAlt and Streetsblog are all for the garbage that is outdoor dining, so naturally you'd expect them to support this blight on the neighborhood as well, ADR.

Today is one of those New York days where if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes.

@gtjco I don’t even recall the last time NYC built any new roads. Maybe like almost 10 years ago on the new Kosciuszko Bridge. On the other hand, NYC is exceptional at closing and destroying roads.

@mistergeezy @MariamaJames13 I mean I’d rather the transit system be free than look like some kind of cheese grater prison.

@gtjco I wouldn’t get financial advice from someone whose university charges students 100k in tuition, housing, & other fees every year.

@gtjco At a certain point, working just sucks. The past few weeks, I just don’t find much joy in the work…hell today I had awful food poisoning symptoms the whole day.

DOT is no longer about transportation, they are about crippling transportation, at least PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION. Don't hear them complaining about Uber + Lyft, or Amazon trucks parked in the middle of the street for mobile distribution centers, but private cars, different story!
Nick Benson@nick_benson

If this space can store 3 cars year-round, it should be able to offer outdoor dining year-round One is good for 3 people, the other is good for dozens of customers throughout the day, supporting a local business, and adding to the vibrancy of the neighborhood

My bus passengers stared me at like I had two heads when I requested them to move to the back…so I could let on a passenger with a wheelchair. Shouldn’t have taken more than two minutes to let them on…but really I was there for almost ten. So many uncooperative “adults”

@JAllen_NYC Oh Justin, Citibike is calling your name for you to ride from Bay Ridge to Manhattan. Even just one day for church will allow you to join the gentrifiers in advancing society to a brighter tomorrow.

The congratulating of Mamdani for riding a fucking bike on this site is so fucking ridiculous and cultish.

@gtjco I don't disagree with the idea behind MAID. But a society where government and business interests promotes MAID certainly isn't a healthy one in my book.

@KikiAndtheCity I mean what more evidence do we need that Jeff Cultin and the rest of the today's media are an embarrassment to a once respected profession.
