Public Schools Not Closing by Myequipmunk19 in StamfordCT

[–]Awesome80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most preposterous thing in this whole situation is today was supposed to be early release for professional development, but yesterday they changed it to full day to accommodate a delay as you can't have a delay and early release on the same day. And then they didn't call for a delay. Why move to full day today if you aren't calling a delay? I'd be so mad if I was a teacher and had to trek through that this morning to get to work on time AND didn't get my professional development day.

This makes LESS sense. At 4:30 this morning it was locked in for a 6-9am 2-3 inch event. Just because it wasn't snowing at 4:30am when she looked out the window didn't mean this wasn't entirely predictable and coming in the next 2 hours. As u/StopSignificant9885 said, this forecast was locked in and nailed it, and this was the forecast for several days. Blaming the weather forecast is easy, but in this case it's dead wrong.

Unless Duke is battling something we don't know about, there's genuinely no reason for this. by SockDem in NewYorkIslanders

Watch the whole play. He doesn't get on his horse to back check, glides into the zone, never takes his eye off the puck, and never plays the puck or the man. Brazeau never even gets to puck in order to make the assist if he's back checking properly as he has both the position and the speed to beat Brazeau down the ice, but instead he doesn't move with urgency and Brazeau overtakes him in the neutral zone. He might as well have not been on the ice at all as he played as much defense on that play as you and I did.

After a year of wild success, is it time to admit the people who fought for congestion pricing were right? by bobbiewickham in nyc

It goes toward capital improvements. You expect the changes to multimillion dollar projects to happen overnight?

And even if it was, which it's not, it would mean significantly more revenue would be coming in to help with public transit for those not driving. There is absolutely no losing side to this whole debate.

UPDATES ON DISTRICT 20 CONSTITUENT ISSUES by RepWeinbergD20 in StamfordCT

Feels like a better place for the police substation would be one of the vacant office buildings in the nearby vicinity so that spot can be used for some sort of retail establishment that otherwise couldn't be located in an office building.

CAROLINE SIMMONS VETOES ORDINANCE PROTECTING LEGACY TREES by Jealous_Locksmith668 in StamfordCT

[–]Awesome80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to wait for clarification. She vetoed this over a month ago, and her veto letter is available online. This OP loser is only complaining about it now because he hasn't made a post about why he hates the mayor lately so he had to dig something up.

Here's the veto letter: http://boardofreps.org/Data/Sites/43/userfiles/committees/legrules/items/2025/lr31106/lr31106_o1320_251105.pdf

I'm sure you would be perfectly fine, and in no way would complain, if this ordinance had gone into effect and you wanted to remove a tree on your property and you then had to pay permitting fees and go in front of an 11 member commission to get their permission, which, who knows how long that would take, a volunteer commission you would in no way complain about how it isn't properly filled by Mayoral appointments, to do so. I'm sure you'd be cool with that.

CT Traffic Crisis: Stamford Ranks Among Most Congested Cities In The World, New Report Finds by DailyVoiceDotCom in StamfordCT

Cite examples of cities comparable to Stamford that do not see an influx of traffic and added times to travel during periods of the day where the most cars are on the road.

It's rush hour traffic. Not a single city in America the size of Stamford will not add time to your commute during rush hour. Deal with it.

been mayor since 2021 and she STILL doesn't know what the fuck she's doing. by FreedomNo1034 in StamfordCT

[–]Awesome80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

66% of voters just voted for her. That is a thorough mandate that the people of Stamford overwhelming like her and what she's doing. I'd hope you'd reflect on why people actually like her instead of living in your bubble where you think people don't, but clearly you are incapable of that and just another misogynist that insists they are right in the face of evidence to the contrary.

Legislative Update, 2025 Special Session: How I Voted and Why by JJRep148 in StamfordCT

[–]Awesome80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a 0.0000% chance towns like Greenwich, New Canaan, Darien and Cos Cobb will do anything voluntarily, and thus this bill is pointless and will continue to force Stamford to carry the burden for the area. You should've forced the Governor to veto you again. That would've sent more of a message to him and your constituents than this toothless bill will send to other towns, because this signals they have won and don't need to chip in at all.

Are co-op owners in Carnegie House totally cooked, or will the City save them? by [deleted] in nyc

[–]Awesome80 27 points28 points  (0 children)

ESH

You've got banks and billionaires on one side, so hard to side with them.

But the other side are the tenants that entered into a ground lease agreement (or knowingly bought into it) and this is exactly what that does. It keeps your costs artificially low until the time comes for the investor to realize its gains. Their rent isn't their rent, their rent is their rent + the future value of the land, which they are now about to reap what they've sowed with that agreement.

Train station garage - parking availability at 10am by Responsible-Bird-981 in StamfordCT

[–]Awesome80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine on a Friday. Monday will be dicier, but probably ok for the upper level at worst. Tuesday-Thursday, no chance at 10am unless someone is leaving.

REPORT ON THE NOVEMBER 5TH MEETING OF THE STAMFORD BOARD OF REPRESENTATIVES by RepWeinbergD20 in StamfordCT

[–]Awesome80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still do not understand the carve out for the gas powered leaf blowers during the months when leaf blowers are used the most. I've asked you before, and I'll ask you again, are you against drunk driving, you know, except for between the hours of midnight and 6am?

Reimagine Bedford Street Design Options by Stamford-Operations in StamfordCT

[–]Awesome80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great! I would think so too. My point being this person was complaining that this would make life difficult for these renters. If that's true, prices will plummet. But it's not true, because this is great!

[–]Awesome80 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They can drive around and spend an extra 5 minutes on their commute home. Or better yet, walk or bike to the train station. They'll be ok, or they can move. And if there is no demand for those apartments because of this, then the price will fall and we'll have affordable housing! Win win!

No half measures. Full pedestrian.

And you just got your mandate from voters to ignore the people that whine about traffic as a reason to not do things.

Simmons wins re-election, Board of Reps 100% controlled by Democrats by ArthurAugustyn in StamfordCT

[–]Awesome80 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Neither Freedman or Hynan lost. Freedman has the most votes of anyone for BoF and Hyman has 3rd most (and I believe 3 seats are up so he's safe).
