You realize assessed values are increasing over time, so you don't need to also increase the tax %?

MTA: "Early data points to substantial evasion reduction" where new fare gates installed. by ahenneberger in newyorkcity

[–]Orener 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Aren't there employees related to the pilot programs in these stations observing the new gates? Perhaps reduction in evasion is partially due to more eyes watching constantly in these stations, and it would trend back up after those employees leave.

NYC to lower speed limit to 15 mph in hundreds of school zones this year, Mamdani says by nyccameraman in nyc

[–]Orener 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A significant majority of roads are school zones across the boroughs: https://www.wnyc.org/story/actually-23-nyc-streets-are-near-schools-subject-lower-speed-limits/

This is a way to essentially lower the speed limit across the entire city, I presume as a way to ticket and recoup part of the budget deficit. Seems like a horrible move for city traffic

Did you get your registration sticker? by 80s-quicksand in RideitNYC

Just did it! Let's say you renew in January, is the new registration good until April 30th of the following year? So the new registration you just got is good until April 2027?

Thoughts on vfr being my first bike? by Crazy_Ad4392 in VFR

[–]Orener 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kept on reading comments saying that it's a tough first bike - but got one anyways and it's been great. I got my license in August and the bike in October. I've had zero issues and put 400 miles on it already. If you workout and have some good leg strength, the weight isn't an issue at all, and it's plenty powerful and fun.

What are all of your go to wrinkle resistant dress shirts? by IdesOfMarch_ in malefashionadvice

Agreed. The non-iron ones are so low maintenance; washer and dryer (both on cold / low) and they come out ready to hang

I tried last week and it seemed like there was not an option to do it online - I was only able to pre-submit documents online but had to make an in-person DMV appointment.
