This was just a quirky little side quest when i did it two years ago, but is looking increasingly relevant today

Here's a neat Janes Walk on May 3 from @mosesnyc.bsky.social and @rpa.org tracking part of the IBX route in Brooklyn:

The Yankees have always been the Republicans team, this is the universe re-aligning correctly

Today's Grand Army Plaza reminds me of the one time I was the main character on that other site... x.com/MosesNYC/sta...

They are getting their most famous citizen. Hard as it is to believe I don’t think it’s more complicated than that.

As the father of a middle schooler I have seen the rebellion against AI forming there — even using “that’s AI, bro,” not indicating something is literally AI, but that something is metaphorically so — it’s sus, it’s bullshit, it’s bad weird

If your baseline is the zoning conditions of 65 years ago, sure. Most people baseline this on the zoning conditions before whatever reform you’re talking about.

You’re not accounting for the density bonus of IZ

I mean, we can all show our work for what we claim here.

That’s the 40-year exemption.

Every pro-forma is different. You are raising a completely hypothetical scenario. We all agree property tax rationality would be good.

You don’t even have to pay the mini-tax on the 40-year benefit anymore!

They’re giving you a 100% break for 40 years! Of course it’s funded!

100%. Whatever your specific tactic or mechanism is, you have to commit to everything else taking a back seat until further notice. If you have a family, it really helps if they are on board with this.

Star Wars is never better than when it’s about scrappy weirdos fighting fascists & never worse than when it’s about hereditary magic powers.

How you gonna put Anora & Man on a Wire head-to-head the first round 😠

You have an FC St. Pauli jersey sitting in your closet, I cannot believe I have to miss both legs of Rayo v AEK Athens, we are not the same.

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

What You See From the 36th Floor of This Observation Deck

.@nytimes.com has declared @mosesnyc.bsky.social as an official "observation deck aficionado." (Huge for us)

Here's Moses talking to them about NYC's newest, free deck, the Municipal Building:

This is ridiculous. MIH specifically incentivizes condos. The only method available to make all the higher floors market rate is to do the 25% rental on the bottom floors and condo on the top floors, which has been done many times.

This month, you have the opportunity to

A. See @mosesnyc.bsky.social talk about NYC, and

"Under the existing tax code, an Upper West Side building with 16 apartments had an annual tax bill of $50,000 in 2017. After it was converted [into a single-family home] the levies dropped to just $12,000." 🤦

My immediate answer was “yes” but then after gaming out a possible run-of-show it has changed to “I’m not sure.”

Somehow, same.

Again: these idiots obviously saw that one episode of The Wire.

This is not a product of the development industry. It’s the product of wealth inequality. 100 SFH pencils out better than 300 (or more) condos because the people who want a SFH in the most prime land on earth can and will pay way more than 3x what people who want a condo will pay.
