@janosmarton Right, FerryHawks are great, and that stadium would be perfect for soccer, concerts. Not sure why Mayor is basically doing a sponsored post/collab w a team that plays in New Jersey.

Fwiw, you can come see the Staten Island FerryHawks for $6 for any home game.
Get your minor league baseball and Manhattan skyline fix, along with occasional postgame fireworks.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has extended his campaign of making soccer more affordable, partnering with @GothamFC and releasing 1,000 tickets priced at $5 for the club’s May 9 match against Boston Legacy.

@McFranchisee I would 100% want to check one out once on a road trip, but aside from that, no interest. I want my rest stops fast and/or scenic. Are relatively clean restrooms that hard to find in TX?

New Buc-ee's drops $1M in sales on opening day. Where do you think those sales pull from?
A few months ago I talked to a $mcd owner who had a Buc-ee’s open 10 miles away, and it impacted him.
While I don’t get the allure: clean ‘80s-looking bathrooms with cheap drinks and overpriced everything else, they are a major competitor in the food space. I’ve never seen a competitor impact others from the distance they do.
What’s your thoughts on the Beaver?

@powellAtlantic @MetsFix Who is paying $245 for four 500s seats? Even weekends. 500s and some 300s are like $60 for a four pack most Sundays. Liquid sugar poison at a ballpark is priced about the same as liquid sugar coffee at Starbucks. Dad’s $16 beers are nice 24oz tall boys, don’t ask me how I know.

From indispensible @MetsFix: Cohen has history of calling out fanbase for weak attendance. Let's do math: Family of 4=$245 for four 500 level seats; $50 parking; $32 4 sodas; $32 4 hot dogs; $20 for ice cream helmets. At $379 before dad gets a beer ($16); mom gets cocktail ($20):

The team just won 4 in a row, on an exciting extra inning walk-off by a young player just called up from AAA ... ... in front of 34,753 fans on a very cold, windy April Tuesday at 4pm on a workday ... ... and our billionaire owner is whining that some people w free tix (face value $18) didn't show up to sit in the upper tank & spend a bunch of $$$ on over-priced parking & concessions. This is a terrible look.

@bethanyshondark Exactly. When someone calls you to wish you a happy birthday, but it’s the wrong day, the correct answer is “thanks so much, it’s so nice to get a non spam call”

I saw so much dunking on this and it's so counterproductive. It makes people resent Jews when we lash out at their attempts to wish us well.
It's a misstep but obviously came from a good place.

A nearly two-decade-long economic expansion (interrupted by COVID-19 lockdowns, whose bailouts more than replaced all revenue lost during the lockdowns) has made *all* of our state and local elected officials hypercomplacent about our inability to control spending -- any kind of spending (spending on new and old social programs, spending on union benefits). The charismatic socialist guy is the absurd end point of a trend, not a new trend. You can see this in the past week's budget debate: neither side of City Hall has said anything at all serious or specific about reining in spending. The speaker, supposedly the moderate, counteracted Mamdani's unworkable transit giveaway gimmick with an only slightly less worse unworkable transit giveaway gimmick of her own.

New York City is losing jobs, making life more difficult for Mayor Zohran Mamdani as he seeks to close a big budget deficit while emphasizing economic justice rather than growth. thecity.nyc/2026/04/03/job…

At some point, this stops being about “taxing the rich” and starts being about shrinking the base that supports jobs, investment, and growth. Taken together, this isn’t a strategy to address affordability - it’s a reaction to polling.
If New York eliminates QSBS, startups won’t phase out - they’ll leave immediately. That’s not theoretical; it’s predictable.
Step back from the politics and ask a simple question: what happens to affordability if we systematically raise costs across the entire economy on job creators making NY an outlier even vs neighboring states?
We’re talking about:
•startups losing QSBS
•large employers facing the highest corporate tax rates in the country
•mid-sized businesses hit by PTET changes
•high earners already paying the highest income taxes
•proposals to push minimum wage to $30, hitting small businesses hardest
The most important point is that even if New York did all of this, it wouldn’t solve the problem. Without real, structural changes to the cost side of government, any additional revenue will be gone within a few years.
That’s the core issue.

New York is about to make a massive mistake. The NY State Senate is advancing a proposal to decouple from federal QSBS (Section 1202) — the tax provision that lets startup founders exclude gains on qualifying exits. If this passes, founders would owe 10-13% in combined state and city tax on exits that are tax-free at the federal level and in nearly every other major tech state. Even worse: it's retroactive to January 1, 2025. This comes right as the federal government just expanded QSBS benefits and New Jersey moved to full conformity. New York wants to go in the opposite direction. As a seed investor in NYC who has backed hundreds of companies, I can tell you: founders are mobile. If New York becomes one of the most punitive states for startup exits, the best founders will simply build somewhere else — and the jobs, tax revenue, and innovation will follow. NYC has built something special over the last two decades. This proposal puts it all at risk for a short-sighted revenue grab. If you're a founder, investor, or anyone who cares about the NYC tech ecosystem — please sign the TechNYC open letter before Monday below 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Keep building, NYC 🗽

god damn manhattan steals your sleep in ways you don’t fully appreciate until you’re somewhere quiet. the noise is actually physiologically adversarial. the damn ambulance sirens are engineered to bypass habituation & your nervous system can’t ignore them because it’s not supposed to.
instead i have been waking up to birds lately & it’s the exact inverse. the dawn chorus acts like an evolutionary safety signal. your brain reads it as “all clear.” you rise instead of jolt.
the city that never sleeps is actually a huge warning sign.

Albany not only wants to consider a $500,000 NYC purchase as a mansion, subject to the mansion tax, it also proposes to raise the other brackets significantly. How exactly dos this make the city more affordable?

@kodjima33 In. Do this at Alamo, since theaters are small and it’s super clean to just buyout all tix. I’ve looked into this at AMC and Regal, and aside from AMC Empire 42, they usually won’t give a group rate, they usually price it as a total retail price buyout including front row.

Does anyone want to do this in NYC on a recurrent basis?
Can start with a smaller group
