joshjaffe.bsky.social @joshjaffe.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I’m pretty on board, but I’d also like a way to occasionally drive in Brooklyn. IMO, congestion pricing for the BQE is the easiest way to right-size demand and reclaim space for the city. Can probably downgrade to a regular arterial and park-ify or demolish the raised sections of the highway 010
joshjaffe.bsky.social @joshjaffe.bsky.social · 23/02/20261. Did you consider routing phase 3/4 SAS further east to hit 1st Av/14th st instead of 3rd? 2. What metrics are you targeting when selecting projects? Cost per additional housing? Reduced commute time? Seems like the cost/housing was pretty variable by project. 000
joshjaffe.bsky.social @joshjaffe.bsky.social · 29/12/2025I agree. I think everyone has a desire to play GM, pretend we’re pulling the strings and know our team won deservingly. But we’re really just fans along for the ride. 020

But amongst white voters, looks like status quo from the primary www.nytimes.com/interactive/...nytimes.comMaps: See the New York Neighborhoods That Swept Mamdani to VictoryZohran Mamdani captured a broader section of the electorate in the New York mayoral election compared with the primary. A Times analysis maps the differences. 020
joshjaffe.bsky.social @joshjaffe.bsky.social · 05/11/2025May very well still be true. “Mostly white residents” in the primary is very different from the general. There’s a lot of SI and south Brooklyn votes added to that general population. Coming from a Greenpoint resident. 170
joshjaffe.bsky.social @joshjaffe.bsky.social · 15/07/20251. If we’re already subsidizing 3/4 of the cost, is it really that inefficient to subsidize the last 1/4? 2. I’ve been pretty surprised at how effective congestion pricing has been despite the modest price. Feels like people just love free (and hate not). It’s a lot easier to explain than fair fares 130
joshjaffe.bsky.social @joshjaffe.bsky.social · 18/06/2025This is pretty much where I’m at, but I wouldn’t be so Zohran-skeptical. He’s making inroads in the left-liberal alliance and deserves credit for it. That’s our lane to success moving forward. Much better to try and potentially fail with him than to guarantee status quo decline with Cuomo. 0110
joshjaffe.bsky.social @joshjaffe.bsky.social · 03/04/2025I think “people who know better” gives them undeserved benefit of the doubt. This is their policy through and through. 020

joshjaffe.bsky.social @joshjaffe.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Biggest things missing are the high line and inverted full backs. Too much space to cover between front and back lines. Impossible task for any midfielder and the mistimed pressing triggers makes it worse. 000
joshjaffe.bsky.social @joshjaffe.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I agree, but we need to be adding stars and starters faster than we lose them to age and attrition. Being understaffed increases attrition. The more spots we need to fill, the more desperate we make ourselves. Paying up now bc we’re desperate is bad, but not paying up makes next window worse. 020
