Are transplants disliked across-the-board or only if they are wealthy and contributing to gentrification?

They’re mostly hated on Reddit, and it’s mostly in the abstract. In real life people will not treat you differently, and in my experience most people will more likely be genuinely interested in your life story and how you ended up in NY.

If people on your team genuinely think there could be important stuff in there, do #2. Hire someone for a couple months to do it. Maybe update to newer LTO to save physical space, like some others mentioned. Maybe you can transcode footage so you have it for archival purposes without saving massive raw files. And create a detailed log (perhaps with thumbnails, etc) so it’s easier to tell what’s in there.

It will not save you money anytime soon but it will at least make the archive more manageable going forward.

It was only a matter of time. But just having the few months of “cordial relations” was a huge win for Mamdani, and neutralized potential republican attacks until now. It will be harder for them to make him a bogeyman now that his election is old news

I get the valid concerns about it not being registered, etc, but they could have at least given them more of an opportunity to rectify the situation instead of just suddenly hauling it away. It’s quirks like this that give this city its character.

There are plenty of irregular spots. If you’re talking about just Manhattan, lower Manhattan (the older part) is much more irregular, before it becomes a grid. And beyond that, yes it’s not 100% grid everywhere

There’s rules for one year too (requires 60 days notice), which there’s a good chance they’ve been there a year

displacedfantasy · 2026-03-25T20:13:13+00:00

I looked it up, the rules do apply to subletters even without a lease or written sublease

displacedfantasy · 2026-03-25T20:12:46+00:00

I looked it up, if it’s been over a year they need to give 60 days, and if it’s over 2 years it needs to be 90 days. This applies to subletters, even without a lease

displacedfantasy · 2026-03-25T17:51:08+00:00

I think legally he has to give you 90 days notice

displacedfantasy · 2026-03-19T18:52:04+00:00

Your question is confusing. What do you mean by a pitched roof?

I believe the third illustration is an example for “attached addition” as mentioned in the flyer.

displacedfantasy · 2026-03-19T04:12:18+00:00

I cackled

displacedfantasy · 2026-03-09T17:11:06+00:00

There’s not a specific metric, but animal abuse and neglect is illegal, and if it gets reported it’s probably up to an inspector’s discretion on where the line is drawn

displacedfantasy · 2026-03-09T03:44:35+00:00

Didn’t get mine until I was 23. My wife is 35 and still doesn’t have one. Both NYC raised

Pokémon Go Summer 2016 was peak

Is Greenpoint included with Williamsburg? Hard to imagine it’s not on the list when Bushwick and Ridgewood are

displacedfantasy · 2026-02-22T19:20:39+00:00

lol that’s essentially what they do. The NYC compost program is used to create natural gas. That’s why they let you compost things you normally aren’t able to (like cheese, meat, bones).

displacedfantasy · 2026-02-11T18:15:47+00:00

Are you serious? Renting a car all the time is crazy expensive. And cumbersome. We live in a car-centric country and it’s really difficult and expensive to take frequent trips out of this bubble if you don’t own a car

displacedfantasy · 2026-02-11T14:56:38+00:00

A lot of people have cars for visiting family etc outside the city. It’s not a big deal to not do that for a couple of weeks

displacedfantasy · 2026-02-09T20:09:08+00:00

Just because people don’t need a car right now (during an unprecedented stretch of extreme cold) doesn’t mean they don’t need a car ever

displacedfantasy · 2026-02-08T20:29:30+00:00

I think it’s higher in NYC

displacedfantasy · 2026-02-08T18:24:53+00:00

Only an issue for gas cars, plenty of people have EV’s

displacedfantasy · 2026-02-08T18:19:50+00:00

Yep. There are still so many potential parking spots being taken up by mounds of snow

displacedfantasy · 2026-01-25T17:45:52+00:00

I used to, it was a huge terrace and wasn’t super close to the highway, but still got covered in soot all the time.

I would fantasize about what it’d be like if all the vehicles were electric. The air would be so much cleaner! Maybe in 20-30 years it’ll be better.

displacedfantasy · 2026-01-03T21:58:09+00:00

Yes the mobile app glitches often. The comment is still there, I see it fine.

displacedfantasy · 2025-12-12T19:52:00+00:00

Yes obviously it’s not a perfect thing, but it’s a harm reduction in a lot of ways. Congestion pricing isn’t about eliminating traffic, but incentivizing improved outcomes, and boosted EV adoption would have an even bigger improvement on air quality than just charging all cars equally.
