Reading articles about the proposed City grocery stores costing $30 million to provide low cost groceries and I'm a bit confused about the math.

Let's say it is going to cost $30 million for each store, one in each of the 5 boroughs totalling $150 million. With 8.5 million people living in NYC that comes out to spending $18 per person...even if they gave the food away free that is only $18 total to each person. Not per month but let's even say per year if it costs $30 million a year to run each store. How does that help the average person? Wouldn't it be beneficial to just give each person in NYC a $100/month tax break? Yes could alter it to those making less than $100k a year get the tax break, but just see wasting $150 million as having little impact on those who need help with food.

My partner and I are currently apartment hunting and their credit is poor and income is low, whereas my credit is higher (700) and my income meets the 40x rule for the listings we’ve been looking at.

However, when applying my partners credit seems to tank the entire application, reducing my odds of approval than if I didn’t apply with them at all. It seems to be a sort of universal standard that bad credit from any applicant on the application leads to instant rejection even if everything else checks out.

My question: if I am approved for an apartment and make no mention of my partners existence prior to signing the lease, can I immediately move them in to my apartment on day 1 without any repercussions? The units I’m currently looking at state that all prospective tenants need to be on the application, but is this actually enforceable? Can I just lie and say it’s only me until the lease is signed?

We will fill the Babylon line and you can’t stop us all

This will be Long Islands Area 51 raid

We will peacefully refuse to buy/activate tickets

And sit on the train

Edit:

The second we organize as a community we can make the LIRR “free”

They literally can’t write us all a summons

The more people in on this the easier it is

**thanks for the dms

Update: thank you for the support guys, can’t wait to make this official, we have around 70-80 people at the moment. I’m proud of the people

I don't know why this even needs to be said. Here I am trying to buy a 40 in Whole Foods and these little minime's are ruining my whole vibe.

Last time I smoke inside the store if that's how their overpaid cashiers are going to treat me. They'll never get my business again.

Walked into my local bodega this morning to get my bacon, egg, and cheese, and saw some Murray Hill finance bro wearing linen shorts and Birkenstocks. Sickening. Are we really letting the city lose its edge like this?

It’s currently 98 degrees out here with the humidity of a swamp, but you best believe I’m outside in my black Moncler bubble coat, fresh butter Timbs, and a shiesty. My girl is right next to me rocking her chestnut Uggs and a full length North Face puffer.

Yeah, I’m sweating profusely. Yeah, I lost four pounds of water weight walking between the bus and the training. But that’s what it takes to protect the culture.

Transplants think dressing for the weather is "smart" and "prevents heatstroke." Soft. My guy, the concrete jungle demands respect. The heat index is strictly a mindset. If you aren't aggressively marinating in your own bodily fluids inside 800fill goose down do you even actually live here?

Anyway, my vision is starting to blur, I am suffering from severe dehydration, and my Timbs are currently filled to the brim with ankle sweat. What local ER has the best AC so I can get a saline drip without taking off my coat? Yerrrr.

When was the last time the Knicks took it all? 1973. What else happened in 1973? The first major US Oil crisis, GDP collapse and unchecked inflation. A correction so massive that it took the US close to a decade to fully resolve.

It's all lining up the same way it did then. If the Knicks win it all assume a 4% GDP drop and 9% inflation. Worse, globalization will allow this collapse to spread across the world. SPY 600 by June.

I'm never wrong.

Go Knicks!

I'm looking for cocktail bars that burnt out folks in middle age or approaching middle age can go to meet other folks in similar situations, current and former workaholics, childfree unmarried or married folks with professional jobs who did the grinding before or are still grinding, the types of somber but very classic vibes you got in shows like Sex and the City or Woody Allen movies? The type of place where the booze washes down a life of big city materialism and crushed dreams... but there's a glimmering hope of connection somewhere!

Seriously. People move here, never leave, raise the rent, and worst of all, they bring inclement weather that cancels my flight home. Fuck you Mamdani

Edit: why would Mamdani open a sinkhole at LGA that’s kinda counterproductive

I think there's a dating coach company or something teaching around

is it me or does it feel like there is nothing good to eat anymore on Ditmars. as someone who grew up here, I miss the old days of dining in Astoria. I am not a fan of outdoor dining, but it seems like everything has gotten way out of hand with the prices and you leave feeling hungry. can anyone relate?

Trying to see if anyone else here is kinda like me. Into fashion as form of expression, alternative music scene (hard techno, emo adjacent subgenres), and just being a neighborhood guy/girl. I’m born and raised in the area, and work 9-5, but like to embody a funemployed mentality.

I don’t mind the occasion ventures to nowadays, or go bar hop in the East Village, but i wanna see what sort of community we can form in these parts as well. Lately I’ve been hitting up bay ridge, and it’s been super fun.

Let me know if anyone want to make a GC on here or whatever platform. Im down to host summer parties, get togethers. I’m open to the ideas.

Open to anyone in their 20s-30s, lgbtq safe space as well.
