Unions are a part of the constituency but that can't get all of what they want

When it comes to public sector unions - I am torn. I want people to be paid well and get good insurance. But in NYC - we are getting choked by high pension payouts and bespoke rules that drive up the costs for everything (see plumbing, elevator, escalator costs) that benefit unions.

What would be the best policy to stop these things from happening?

We have to give FDNY smaller fire trucks and ambulances. We can’t keep doing this stuff

Why doesn’t California build more condos?

Need a law passed by the next Congress that holds the agency administrator and department secretary personally liable if agencies are found to have blocked funding with malice (as the fact record here clearly indicates).

$50g a week. And liens can be placed against their primary residence.

Would this bill be funded? If so, it's an awesome idea; if not, it seems like it would just lead to a crappier Citibike system. The bill text seems like just a mandated price cap, I'm curious if there's any possibility of seeing city funding legistar.council.nyc.gov/LegislationD...

Five years feels too long - but progress is progress

What would be the proposed change here? Eliminate MIH for build-to-own condos/apartments? Keep MIH for build-to-rent and ideally add height bonuses for MiH

@stephenjacobsmith.com guessing something like this is not legal in NYC? Imagine how much this would reduce moving costs and expenses: www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s...
