The law, in its majestic equality, forbids all men to sleep under bridges, in SROs, or on lots smaller than 10,000 sqft-the rich as well as the poor.

Can we do anything about Vermont's housing crisis? Most obstacles to affordable housing construction are local! Let's reform land-use regulations, allow denser infill construction in our town centers, and incentivize walk-able mixed use communities. brookings.edu/policy2020/big…

Governor Kathy Hochul@GovKathyHochul·
Tonight, the @MTA reached a fair deal with the five LIRR unions that delivers raises for workers while protecting riders and taxpayers. I’m pleased to announce that phased LIRR service will resume beginning tomorrow at noon.

Effective Transit Alliance@eta_ny·
The LIRR has some of the highest operating costs among US commuter rails, and the current strike centers on one key reason: work rules dating back to the steam era. Modernizing these agreements is critical to expanding service and ensuring fiscal stability. ETA's analysis:

Hochul needs to take seriously LIRR employees concerns about cost of living. Should immediately suspend zoning within 1 mile of all LIRR stations until average home prices on Long Island are under 3x MSA median household income ($100k)
sam@sam_d_1995

I am usually pro-labor but the LIRR strike is absurd they’re already the best paid agency in the country, with average total comp of over $200K, and now they’re refusing a 4% raise? This is a perfect example of why US transit is so inefficient!

@bfk6whr2md Taking labor saving steps is reasonable. The poasters saying we’re going to bring LIRR to GoA4 so we can run trains without operators aren’t making a serious proposal.

@_NotA_Bot_ Well yeah that would be silly, but it should have steps taken as every rail line should. It should be more common these days than it is.

@ninthhostage Nothing too bad, but I was telling my wife when we were taking it out of the box how everyone says they are dangerous, and then I did the thing, not once but twice. Have resolved to return to hand slicing cabbage

@_NotA_Bot_ I'm so shocked the highest paid locomotive engineers live in LONG ISLAND. That's totally unexpected. They should definitely be paid the same as locomotive engineers who live in Oklahoma. Totally the same thing.

@La_Mont__ @sam_d_1995 And they will give you a parking ticket for leaving your car double parked on Park Ave, while you’re driving a train to Montauk. Just a war on drivers.

LIRR service is suspended until further notice because of a strike. Avoid nonessential travel and work from home if possible. We will have limited shuttle bus service on weekdays for essential workers and those who cannot telecommute Find out more about travel during the strike here: mta.info/lirrstrike

@sam_d_1995 To be fair they live in the most expensive area of the country with a rail system so they probably should be the highest paid.

it’s funny how LIRR workers are like “where does the money go” when literally 75% of the operating budget goes to labor expenses. buddy, the money is already going to you! LIRR already pays significantly higher than any other railroad in the world, with average pay over $136K!
