Justin La Mort @lamort.bsky.social · 19/08/2026These pied-à-terre arguments just don’t add up. $400k in 1986 was triple the avg home cost then & is the equivalent of over a million now. The person was not poor & if they can’t afford the tax they can live there, have their family live there, or sell it and buy a condo and pocket $4 million. 020
Justin La Mort @lamort.bsky.social · 07/11/2025NYC is full of nerds. The municipal archives gave 1 day notice of a two day book sale. Here is what’s left of the NYC history and politics table after the first 2 hours. 010

Justin La Mort @lamort.bsky.social · 29/03/2025POPS 2: 2121 Boardwalk West Coney Island Amphitheater is nice for events but serves as empty space next to the bustling boardwalk. Lots of construction so could feel very different in a few years. 100

Justin La Mort @lamort.bsky.social · 29/03/2025POPS 1: 1809 Emmons Avenue Pretty delightful. Seating, abstract nautical art, views of Sheepshead Bay, and gelato. There was no easily visible sign as required saying its public space so easily could be confused as part of the two restaurants. 110
Justin La Mort @lamort.bsky.social · 06/03/2025It was great to hear about all the work Good Old Lower East Side (GOLES) are doing for their community. Thank you for having us. 010
