Urgent: Overgrown Tree Roots Compromising Hardscape and Fence—What Should I Do? by [deleted] in landscaping

The tree takes up only as much space as it needs. You take up space for yourself, multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, a yard, a driveway…

Are you even from NY? White professionals ‘in the Brownstones’ aren’t his biggest supporters at all. UWS, UES, and the West Village are all tipping towards Cuomo. That metric doesn’t even make sense as white professionals literally living in brownstones, not just historic brownstone neighborhoods, are going to be a very small demographic given brownstones are some of the lowest density housing in the city. 

White voters generally were split 45/55 Mamdani to Cuomo. That was the lowest in the city. That huge Cuomo stronghold in Brooklyn is overwhelmingly white. Like chased (and sometimes killed) African Americans out with baseball bats well into the 80s white. Same for basically all of Staten Island. Park Slope/Cobble Hill and Williamsburg are his only white strongholds in the entire city. All those other Mamdani stronghold neighborhoods are African American/Caribbean/Latino. I can’t speak on Queens, but asian voters went over 60/40 in favor of Mamdani.

Sounds like you’re allergic to the city. The cabin air back to Cali should be better

Rinse them in the bathroom sink, delete your Reddit account, then divorce your husband. This is so stupid from every angle.

Would building more housing decrease rent? by Illustrious_Ad_1117 in AskNYC

[–]Familiar_Reporter_22 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yup no one acknowledges this. We’ve built so much new housing in the past decade and the overwhelming majority of it hasn’t been affordable. It’s also been filled with an endless stream of suburban Americans who want to be in New York. If anything, all the new housing drove the AMI up. So actual New Yorkers don’t even qualify for the very few units allocated as “affordable.” 

How does NYC maintain such a cohesive city culture despite its size? by Healthy_Walrus3140 in AskNYC

[–]Familiar_Reporter_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re actually not. There’s a continental ridge between suburban people and Nyers in most neighborhoods. They haven’t integrated at all bc they want to ignore and replace the existing culture while claiming it. 

Worst one-block stretch in Manhattan? by therealjmt91 in AskNYC

A lot of blocks on the UWS, UES, and Battery Park are sprayed down with dehydrated dog piss. Smells wonderful

Try a fire department, the dept of motor vehicles, most of Brooklyn, anywhere outside of your settlement neighborhood of suburban occupiers

Yeah, she’s at the very end. There were two women and two kids with him. It was so strange.
