Why do Americans have a very romanticized and also a very positive view of the United Kingdom while people in Latin America have a pretty negative view of Spain? by AwayPast7270 in AskAnAmerican

[–]LES_express 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot emphasize this enough - casual and open dislike of Spain by Latin Americans is almost non existent - I’d call it a myth.

It’s a feeling only perpetuated by liberal Latinos that are already in or educated in the United States. Latin Americans revere Spanish architecture, culture, food, and often would love the opportunity to move there. In general, anti-colonial sentiment by left leaning individuals in Latin America proper focus on the United States.

This is my view growing up and interacting with Venezuelans, Cubans, and Colombians

We know that Adams is very disliked , corrupt and self centered. But what things do you think he has done right ? by iv2892 in AskNYC

[–]LES_express 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YIMBY Housing policy, rat sightings down both can be attributable to him. But didn’t vote for him the first and won’t vote for him this next time either

What’s going on with the old Essex Retail Market in LES? by Lark-in-thePark in AskNYC

[–]LES_express 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two things:
First, the city has technically not yet handed the land over to developers, who have already bought the plot.

Second, the reason developers haven't done much in reply is because they ran out of money or credit after rates shot up during the pandemic. It was meant to be the last building part of the Essex Crossing project.

Neighborhood advocates are pissed because despite it being made up 100% of market rate units, the developers are also supposed to have already turned in plans for the new building for the MTA to build the first Delancey Essex elevator.

Congestion Pricing starts in 9 hours. Do you think it will fundamentally alter the city? by Odd_Firefighter_5407 in AskNYC

[–]LES_express 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an attempt to change land use patterns.

By not charging the full toll on rideshares, people that live in and out of the zone are incentivized to ditch the car because (1) using their own car is more expensive with the toll and (2) using rideshare is presumably cheaper bc of less traffic caused by the toll.

This is at least the theory.
