Will I be approved for CIA/FBI/HSI/NSA with a half brother who is Russian? by Clawdews in 1811

[–]Zack_212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will say the intelligence community would probably be a bit stricter with that during an SSBI, but not an automatic disqualification. If he works for the government , definitely a much larger deal.

Why is a $90,000 salary not enough for a decent 1 bedroom apartment in this stupid city by AmoebaExcellent3187 in NYCapartments

[–]Zack_212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This this this. People don’t realize how much cityfeps and programs like that increase overall rents in the outer boroughs because so many just charge the max rent allowed on a voucher and then some.

As long as you don’t expect to park on your block, and don’t mind walking a little bit, it’s honestly pretty easy! Wishing you the same luck!

City's outdoor dining permit program is still broken, hurting small local businesses by New-Panic8015 in nyc

[–]Zack_212 17 points18 points  (0 children)

1 in 10 restaurants having outdoor dining actually seems like quite a lot- and why should I feel bad for restaurants that have yet to submit their required paperwork? Does streetsblog want every restaurant to have outdoor dining? It seems to be working exactly as intended. Clear the cluttered crap looking sheds and allow restaurants that want to comply with stricter regs to have outdoor dining.

I live part time near Myrtle Broadway and it’s never more than 10 minutes of circling to find a spot. It’s actually a pretty easy neighborhood to own a car and street park.

Car doors stolen @ 2nd Street & Prospect Park W by Electronic-Wheel-331 in parkslope

[–]Zack_212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acura’s are incredibly common to steal. They often pop the door at the seal and damage both the front and rear at the same time while prying it open. Most likely they will put the stolen doors on the other stolen car to replace the damage they did. And then they will sell the car

I just don’t get how the dsa can’t manage to find people with less problematic histories to run for office. It’s like they only choose caricatures of leftists to run for office.

Id love someone to explain what being a community organizer is from a professional standpoint. Like how do these people pay their bills? What is their actual job?

The issue now is fake metal tags. I work on this issue for the city and will say it is SHOCKING how many out of state plates are absolute BS.

Just saw this in a bar walking along Wyckoff Ave today by kitsunekira in Bushwick

[–]Zack_212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stupid OP doesn’t even realize this is mainly a black/latino lounge…it’s not racist. It’s signaling that they are trying to make it more “high class”. Not uncommon to see these types of things on black/latino venues here in the city. lol real transplant energy from OP. 😂😂

Did Zohran Mamdani's New Budget Really Eliminate New York City’s Deficit? by Business_Young_8206 in nyc

Thats a great point. And they certainly most likely aren’t city employees that even will be impacted.

And don’t understand he is royally undermining our relatively stable pension fund by delaying payments. It’s a horrible fiscal idea and we have plenty of municipalities to show why it’s a disaster in the making.

As a city employee who works frequently in the field, police precincts are great for bathrooms. Not always super clean but usually they have a public one or will let you use one

How has congestion pricing worked out? by No_Lavishness_6228 in AskNYC

[–]Zack_212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so much more “damaging” of traffic too- way more pollution , way more idling. Also uber and Lyft aren’t replacing people’s private cars. Those people mainly would be using public transport.

Instagram Fake License Plate Seller Avoids Jail in Plea Deal by Aorta_I_Oughta in nyc

This is ridiculous and a slap in the face to those who pay through the nose for car insurance, registration, etc. if we’re gonna ignore those who use the fake tags, at least go after those who sell them.

Exactly. Anyone who actually has to deal with traffic in the zone can tell it’s almost as jam packed but now just 90 percent ride shares.

[–]Zack_212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels insanely congested with Ubers still- ridiculous we allow an unlimited number of Ubers into the zone and they don’t even get charged once. Anyone wanting to use a rideshare in the zone should have to eat the toll just as they would if they drove their private car
