Grand Army Plaza proposal would be an improvement, but I think we should do better: take back the full plaza for green space. Connect it to prospect park using a tunnel/park bridge. Take a look at the pics I made of what I'm thinking of. Repost if you like this better than the DOT plan.

Powerful words from J. Sotomayor dissenting today in #Skrmetti: "By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This is concerning. TLDR: So much focus on increasing housing supply through deregulation, but maybe increased supply will not solve the problem, because collusive landlords keep prices high regardless. From Renee Tapp with @lpeproject.bsky.social #nyc #housing lpeproject.org/blog/prices-...

Prices and Supply, and How Landlords Control Them
Attempts to solve the affordable housing crisis rely on a flawed understanding of housing economics and landlord business practices. In reality, landlords are colluding to manipulate the market.

For anyone that bikes in NYC, you are allowed to bike through an intersection when the walk sign appears, even if the light has not gone green yet. But cops have nonetheless been ticketing people for this. Relevant law below for your reference, along with info about a class action lawsuit suing cops

I always thought that habitual offender laws and three strikes laws emerged in the 1990s as part of the tough-on-crime era. But then I was looking through old state codes and I saw a three strikes law from 1923. Then I found dozens from around this time, and wondered (naively) what was going on.
