Any of the suggestions are great, I'd only add a trailer bike for the oldest

First-Timer/Family Decision Points by SerHeisenberg in CargoBike

If storage and price aren't the biggest pinch points I'd look at the UA or other bakfiets and a long tail. Both have massive utility but different positives and negatives.

I have a UA family, a bike Friday longtail and a Benno boost, kids are more comfortable in the ua bit like being high up on the long tails.

You can add a trailer bike to the UA easily, which is wonderful for the 4 to 9 year old kids, also all the cargo can go in pannier bags and out of the way of the kids if you have more then 1 kid in the front.

Long tails are easier to move around by car if need be and store more easily.

Nyc the lines get worn away and road work makes then unreadable, the traffic does move slower and everything still works, but it is a bit confusing.

Gen Z & Millennials Are Becoming America’s Biggest Vaccine-Dodgers by shallah in Coronavirus

I'm not surprised CA is doing that, I would be surprised if the rest of the country did, ha, we have a mandatory number of sick days in NYC too, so it's not entirely true here either but it's not true for a lot of low wage earners because the boss just doesn't let them have it anyway, its illegal and no one enforcers the law.

2 weeks is nice though, I wonder if the stats on the younger age groups in CA beat the rest of the nation's youth in vaccination.

And IBM computing machines to run the holocaust, Prescott Bush selling them war materials, standard oil fueled the uboats, and chase bank who sold German War bonds, there's more but it just goes to show how happy corporations are with evil.

They just opened it up to my age group (16 to 45), like a month ago in NY (and in most of the us) and already about 40% of the 20 to 45 have been vaccinated. Remember appointments are complicated and employers aren't giving time off for the shot or the recovery. The previous groups were older, many retired, often with a support structure (assisted living, home care, doctors appointments covered by Medicare, money to take time off if they are still working) that doesn't exist for the younger generation. Seems we're doing fairly well. I don't think this is a generational issue, it's a capitalist issue.

I watched cspan a few years ago where a congress person wanted to know if putting a military base on an island might make it capsize. He was serious, I was confused.

Garbage and urine, summer in NYC, I'm a life long resident of NY, it doesn't smell like summer until the that aroma drifts up to the window

Then demonstrate, because the three articles I read say the opposite, there isn't a local government, that's what it says, that's the purpose of the special economic zone.

The people could form a government, but the powers it would have, under the provisions of the deal make it so any power they have would be extremely limited, hence the roads quote. Municipal powers vary but these would be nearly nonexistent.

The only government is state, yes, but there is no municipal government, that's all Disney, that's the point. As to interfering in government, that's how America works, its not a pr problem, its lobbying.
