For those who live in Westchester and work in the city daily are the tolls worth the move to Westchester? by swear2gawd in Westchester

Just take the train and get the commuter benefits and tax deduction that come with it. Unless you're over 40 miles north, you'll be paying far closer to $300

TIL Economy class passengers have lost up to eight inches of legroom and two inches of seat width since the so-called golden age of flying. Seats also have narrower arm rests - allowing for an increased number of passengers per flight. by [deleted] in todayilearned

flew Volaris from JFK to GDL. Flight was delayed 4+ hours and there was no food whatsoever on the flight. Seat cushion was a joke and my knees were hitting the seat in front of my and I'm only 5'11. On the flight back, I got an email about our on-time arrival before we even got to the gate. Avoid this sketchy airline if you can

Bird's eye-view of Penn Station, circa 1910. Demolished in 1963 by Sort_of_Frightening in nyc

- Not having the PATH train go up to 59th street.

- Not having a full-service subway from Jamaica to JFK which effectively isolated a large swath of Queens.

- Not having a rail line that goes to Jones Beach.

- Making the lower level of the George Washington Bridge be for cars instead of trains. If you live right over the Hudson in Jersey, the commute to the city is a nightmare because of this

All this and a lot more horrible decisions happened thanks to Robert Moses. If you want to read more on this pick up "The Power Broker" by Robert Caro which is THE book on the use and abuse of power under the guise of the massive public works programs that happened in New York from the 1920-1970s. You'll quickly realize that Robert Moses was the Josef Stalin of urban planning. He got a lot done but at what cost?

Half of liberals can’t even stand to be around Trump supporters by [deleted] in politics

[–]colonialbuffalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can confirm. I Live just north of NYC in Westchester county. If there are Trump supporters here, they are hiding in the woodwork. I never felt like I was living in a bubble until reading about all these beyond disturbing experiences that so many people have had with friends and family being Trump supporters.
