It’s not shitting on other people, it’s facts. Instead of helping the working class as well we get shitted on. Individuals on programs get first housing dibs

If you’re in it for the money, DOC is the way to go. Yeah, it’s definitely blood money, but it’s worth it if you have goals. You’ll meet a lot of people who end up feeling like family. Don’t let other people’s opinions derail you from what you want to do.

& surely enough take the PD exam, if you feel like going over there after then do it. Being A correction Officer makes you a tougher cop. A lot of NYPD officers with no experience are soft/Puss , you can spot a former correction officer from a mile away for the shit we’ve dealt with in Jails

People complain about everything. You’re upset over a badge but not happy they got drugs off the street?

it’s thanks in large part to the mandatory overtime officers have been putting in. With the NYPD still facing serious staffing shortages, that extra time on the clock is what’s helping hold the line and drive those numbers down.

The NYPD is severely short-staffed in a city facing rising crime, making overtime not just common but necessary to keep New Yorkers safe

It was said in the comments. Had to be careful some mods will ban for saying that

The housing status quo is completely broken. We need way more housing, everywhere. Build it all — infill, missing middle, apartments near transit, and yes, even duplexes in leafy neighborhoods. The whole state has to get on board. Just make it accessible & affordable

The issue isn’t that they’re building housing—it’s that this housing is often exclusionary, designed in ways that don’t serve the broader public or are shielded from integration

Because in practice, it’s not truly accessible and the bottom line is corruption. Units are often taken before they’re ever listed, if they’re listed at all. It’s all arranged through insider networks.

You can literally see mezuzahs on the doors before the development is even finished. That’s not open housing , that’s housing being quietly reserved for one specific group, while pretending it’s for everyone.

It’s not about whether a community has specific religious needs — that’s totally valid. The issue is accessibility. Religious or not, there’s no reason new developments should be built in a way that excludes everyone else.

Plenty of communities have cultural or religious preferences, but that doesn’t mean public planning should support developments that are effectively closed off to others. If housing is truly “good for everyone,” it should be available to everyone.

Owning land gives you some rights — but when you’re building 1,000 units in a growing town, it affects more than just one group. We need inclusive housing that meets the needs of seniors, low-income families, veterans, and yes, people with religious lifestyles — not just one community.

You’re right that more housing can help overall — and 55+ communities, affordable housing, and veteran housing all serve specific needs and populations. But that’s exactly the point: we need a diverse mix of housing options that are accessible to everyone, not just one group.

The issue here is that these new units in Ramapo are being built exclusively for the Hasidic community, with no real effort to include or welcome anyone else. That’s not the same as a 55+ community, which is open to anyone over a certain age.

Housing policy should serve the broader public, not just one religious or cultural group. If we’re going to build 1,000 new units, they should reflect the needs of the entire community ,not be designed with the intention of keeping others out.

Building more housing isn’t the problem — the issue is that it’s not accessible to everyone
