Between the long $$$$$ cab and uber rides due to lack of driving lanes, the cannabis stench everywhere, increased crime, doubled taxes and surcharges on everything… why would you choose to visit NYC for work trips or leisure?
Concur.
We lean towards zooms w Ny offices now, even for diligence sessions.
Philly, Boston, providence, DC, Chicago, Charlotte, St. Louis, Toronto are all better trips and better value for a vacation or conference locale.

Yep, just in case the Napoleon quote over the weekend didn't sink in.
Long live the king of clowns! That’s what we’re supposed to think looking at this, right?! 🤡👑

Ask the neighbors if they like it and no the trade people do not like it. My family are trades people and no they are not simply passing on this is crazy.

It was a pleasure to spend the $9! I was surprised so little would make such a difference. And a friend of mine that lives in the zone is happy as well, quality of life is up with less cars on the street.
Spoken like someone who does not appreciate that 9 dollars daily is a lot to many people

You are joking right? Working people not at peace. Rich maybe but not working. people.
What working people? The ones who are commuting in from the outer burbs in their cars by themselves? Because it’s not the tradespeople passing it on or the delivery guys who are getting their routes done more quickly and cheaply.
Yeah, I don’t think New Yorkers care about the hardships of the B&T crowd. You want to use their roads, contribute some.

Exactly, just another expensed expense to the end consumer. And reason why businesses and family’s leave New York.
Exactly, NYC is known for its lack of business and empty streets. Now name me a US city with more businesses or families?
It’s too expensive nobody wants to live there, all the demand is in rural Arkansas where driving is free…lol
