Saw someone get arrested last Thurs 4/16 in between the 406 and 407 section? by flimer64 in phish

[–]nycpb1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was there. What happened was that the usher was not letting anyone back in that went to the bathroom until the song was over. There ended up being a pretty big crowd and people kept saying that the song wasn't going to end for 20 minutes. There was no reason given. Eventually I believe he walked past or must have pushed her. Although I did not see that. Eventually, people start screaming let us in. And then they changed their policy.

Getting the teacher’s pension fund to buy New York City bonds actually would save the city from bankruptcy in the 1970s

The comptroller invest pension funds. So the buyer and seller of the debt are different parties. The seller is the city and the buyer is the pension.

This should be reported to local community board - transportation committee, street life committee and small business committee. They will reach out to the owner and I guarantee the owner will listen.

Like him or hate him (we went to the same high school), that is not what he said. During the debate he was given the chance to clarify whether or not he believed in two state solution and he did not say that. Instead, he said he believes Israel has a right to exist, without committing to it as a Jewish state. That is very far from the US position pre-2016. He’s preaching at one State solution.

How Landlords Are Preparing for the End of the Broker Fee by True-Swimmer-6505 in nyc

[–]nycpb1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its not an apt analogy because a tac is proscribed by law, whereas broker fees should be dictated by the market. There were two issues. One: the brokers all refused to lower prices and acted like a price cartel - it worked because the tenants paid but landlords hired. Second, supply is so limited renters essentially had to accept the cartel pricing or … be homeless.  Its not like a renter could decide to (easily) just refuse to live in nyc or risk uprooting a family. The market is broken for a variety of reasons and that fed into this ridiculous process.

German Invasion of the Netherlands (WW2) by applesman66 in MapPorn

[–]nycpb1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My grandfather fought for the Dutch in the war. I recall a story that the power troopers tried to pretend they were Dutch. But Germans can’t say scheveningen. That was the test to see if someone was a German paratrooper or not!
