Suspending transit fares during the World Cup for five weeks in NYC would convince even more riders that they don't need to pay to ride, and permanently elevate evasion rates.
I half suspect Mamani knows that, and his proposal is intended to force the MTA's hand on free transit.

Here’s an idea: build a second Rikers. If the jails are overcrowded, you build more jails, you don’t let career criminals out on the street. Or you’ll get more innocent New Yorkers killed, like Richard Williams, who you apparently failed to keep in your thoughts.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
I am deeply troubled to learn that a person in custody died on Rikers Island this morning. My thoughts are with their loved ones, who are now facing an unimaginable loss. Transparency and accountability are essential, and the Department of Correction is conducting an investigation. While we do not yet know the cause of death, too many have died on Rikers Island for far too long. Rikers must close, and we will pursue every avenue to do so as quickly as possible.

Elizabeth Warren’s entire political project essentially amounts to whipping up outrage about how expensive everything is and how scarce essential goods are—then proposing policies that make those things more expensive and reduce their supply.

This is why we must hold the line against slopulism in housing policy. At first Warren's position was "investors can build as many apartment buildings as they want, they just can't build single-family homes to rent" Now she is sending menacing letters to institutional investors who build multi-family apartments and manufactured housing.

@jesserbnwtz The racism is only coming from you and your racialized assumptions

The idea that homeless people are more dangerous than anybody else is just racist garbage.

Come for the evidence-free claims about police brutality… Stay for the chutzpah it takes to call for sidelining a counterterrorism unit from responding to large gatherings just weeks after terrorists tried to kill a bunch of people with homemade bombs at just such a gathering.

New Yorkers should be able to protest without fear of violence from the NYPD. It’s time the CURB Act gets a hearing. @NYCLU

Everyone roasts the McKinsey report on trash cans in NYC but consider that for the entire history of the greatest city in the world before this report, they did not have trash cans.

The hypocrisy is mind blowing.
The same people that are 100% for buffer zones around abortion clinics, are AGAINST buffer zones around places of worship.

Do you want to know why rent is so expensive in LA? Why the application process takes so long? Why landlords want so much info from you? Here is a recent story:

@nychange @GovKathyHochul The government gives this organization non profit status and collects no tax from them. In return, this is how they behave.

More than 50 people have BARRICADED the doors to @GovKathyHochul’s office to defend New York’s Climate law and lower our utility bills.
Now is not the time to cave to TRUMP and his WAR FOR OIL.

People were outraged at the $500k couple, but the underappreciated aspect of the story is that the woman making $36k lives in the same neighborhood and leads a similar lifestyle, minus saving $10k per month, because she is a beneficiary of various subsidies, including a rent

The purpose of providing eviction defendants free attorneys isn't to win trials. They rarely do.
The purpose is to make it so expensive and time-consuming for the landlord to win that they back down. They'll give up all the back rent, pay the defendant to leave, seal their record, and sometimes even sign a false reference so the defendant can scam a new landlord.
Your tax dollars at work.

@realitybasedlaw @MoisaQuasi It’s pervasive here in NYC as well. Both tenants and landlords would be far better served by the city just giving this money to landlords to pay for those in arrears.

The Attorney General is the Chief Law Enforcement of New York and can prosecute any crime a DA can. When District Attorney’s like Alvin Bragg fail to keep New Yorkers safe, I’ll step in and prosecute those crimes.
