Gentrification is really about the modern city’s failure to accommodate growth.
More ppl want to live here than current housing + transportation support. Instead of investing in new infrastructure…existing residents have been simply replaced w/newer, wealthier ones.

A significant amount of the charm embodied in the 5000 years of urbanism before WWII exists in the urban form, not the materials
We can recover the urban form even when we have to use modern materials

The Financial District would go from a cool neighborhood to walk around to one of the best in the world if they pedestrianized the streets and eliminated the on-street parking here.

If we raised the property tax bill on the blue lot to match the others on a $/SF basis, the overall tax bill for the houses/businesses would go down.
People who want to see lower property taxes should be all over this!

seems like Trump admitted to the Post that he won't pick the @GrandPennNY plan to demolish MSG; instead seems likely to pick the ASTM/Halmar plan that'd demolish the MSG Theater for a new train hall (Still little known about the 3rd finalist, Fengate)

The idea of “low-tax” red states is a myth. Lower-income and working-class people pay higher taxes in Texas than in California. Middle-class people pay about the same in both states. Rich people pay much lower taxes in Texas.

It's worth noting that attempts to smear the expansion of trash containerization are being done using altered photos from a @Gothamist article.

Mamdani ran on fast and free buses. A new plan addresses the 'fast' part of his pitch.

Zohran Mamdani also announces an expansion of trash containerization - he says one community district will be fully containerized in each borough by the end of next year. Unclear how much that will cost but it could be expensive: nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/…

The highest-ranking uniformed officer at the NYPD until about five months ago:
Emily let me clue you into something that has been a standing order for decades - No Doctors, Nurses, teachers and other city agencies. Since I was the Chief of Dept -I altered this to add , Any friend of @sidrosenberg19 was a friend of ours - free pass for Sid’s friends. I did this because I could. That’s just the way it is my precious snowflake.
