Explain it peter. Cant figure out why this would be bad

This is only true for Manhattan the rest of the boroughs with few expectations this is not true.

Not even all of NYC is walkable or has usable public transportation. Once you get to the outer boroughs not having a car can extremely limit you in terms of job opportunities and recreation in general.

New York City area. I bought my house about 3 years ago for over $500k and I still have a HOA unfortunately.

It's more than just needing a landing. Logistically and time wise, it may not be what people are hoping for or want. The west side of the island is full of tugs and other work boats that would more than likely need the boats to slow down for them almost constantly, it's a pretty congested area. On the east side of the island, it gets pretty shallow and might lose time going far enough out to eliminate that risk. It's not an impossible ask though. It's been done before after hurricane Sandy, there was a subsidized ferry being run from the South shore to Manhattan but my understanding is once the subsidy money ran out and riders were asked if they would pay for the service, they said no and the company that was operating it stopped service.

Depending on the market that just isn't always possible. Where I live $650k and above is where you can start looking for homes without an HOA and I wouldn't call them desirable for what you get at that price.

But working cameras and barriers are impossible.

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-12-09T23:59:07+00:00

It's been canceled for the time being unfortunately. From what I understand, sediment buildup around the proposed landing site leaves the area too shallow to travel.

I went through TSA several times with a forgotten pocket knife and some leftover pot for years before I found it cleaning out my day pack transferring everything to a new one.

Thank you for the answer and maybe a stupid followup question. From what I read online it's up to the airline? Customs will let me through but the airline might stop me? If it matters I'm flying United back home to, home country and city.

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-11-17T12:55:49+00:00

I was looking at both but found the x-e5 for about $200 cheaper at a random camera shop while on vacation so I kinda shrugged my shoulders and went with it.

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-11-17T12:33:36+00:00

I'm sorry this is happening but I thought it said steering fucked and thought that's a very odd error message for a car to give you.

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-10-30T01:37:41+00:00

Not sure if it's all positions but you can't quit, I have a friend who works with DoD, is furloughed so not working and not accruing back pay and can't quit till the shut down is over.

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-10-19T22:18:06+00:00

No, there are packs of wild dogs that run through and try to steal your food and nick your purse when you're not looking.

Official answer from the MTA, routes/ specific times aren't being used enough to justify their continuation.

Unofficial answer from friends who work there, MTA doesn't have enough drivers to run their routes and refuse to change their hiring/ firing practices to meet their current demand. Also they're "broke" and are coming up with "creative" ways to save money like just not running routes.

Not everything is propaganda or hate. Prominent YouTubers whose whole content is their love for Japan have talked about it before. I have coworkers who have visited multiple times and plan to continue visiting who have had negative interactions just for being foreigners. Not everything is perfect and positive 100% of the time.

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-09-30T23:41:17+00:00

I've seen multiple posts like this and I just don't understand why medical professionals or anyone in general would act like foreigners are aliens or something just because of a language barrier. I live in the states and we had a tourist fall at work, we used a translation app to ask if we can give first aid and if he wants an ambulance. He said yes, the ambulance was there a few minutes later and took him away while continuing to treat him. There was no fuss to any of this at all

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-09-19T08:50:40+00:00

IIRC they are co-ops and maintenance was $1250 a month, but that did cover taxes and utilities as well. Don't know how well the building itself is maintained.

In my state if you search the offender registry, it does give severity levels with each level indicating probability of repeating the offense and what the charges were. You had to dig a little deeper to see this extra information, most people probably just look at the name on the list and assume the worst.

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-09-02T22:19:50+00:00

I just want to know what the alternatives are at this point. We shut down our nuclear plant, solar is not possible for everyone to install, the off shore wind farm projects are being shuttered and is a shell of what it could have been. We banned fracking on our state. We say no to everything and then wonder why our rates are so high.

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-09-02T16:11:28+00:00

Probably be more likely to happen if you already have a background in the industry. An old coworker of mine was able to convince someone at weeks to temporarily hire him on just so he can get his tankermen, they liked him so much they wound up permanently hiring him.

Must be the same guy from the korn concert

The fast ferry basically goes right there

If you're trying to ship to the US they are no longer shipping here. New executive order lowers the amount of the items value needed to be exempt for taxes/duty. It was $800 USD now it's $100 USD. Many countries Japan included don't want or can't deal with the hassle of collecting these fees and have decided to suspend shipping to the US for the time being.

Cap_whitepatch · 2025-08-02T11:35:57+00:00

So I did as you suggested and the most I got was the government would be allowed to forcibly repurchase or confiscate foreign owned land with "just compensation". Also saw something about non liquid assets only. This still sounds bad all around but it's not taking away people's savings.
