Yeah, my wife is an NYC DOE teacher too. Friend of ours is a single mom and a teacher in NYC. She would rather take the chance of managing both kids + job from home and save the $$$ if possible (especially as she can't really afford it). But her principal is giving her a hard no on WFH.

Yeah I get it, a tightrope juggling act is still better than not being able to make rent. But it sucks.

Intriguing. From a cursory glance at their website it looks like they're tech bros who describe themselves as "bleeding edge" so ymmv. Possibly nicer than your average tech bro, but...a lot may depend on how well they do their outreach homework to partner with actual community-based frontline groups.

Well sure. It's an interesting idea that needs to be backed up by adequate resources to be affective.
There are lots of online community resource databases--some are geographically arranged, some are searchable by type of resource...some are proprietary, some are public. Single Stop, Aunt Bertha, I forget more names right now but...the idea is out there. The problem in my experience is having them actually connect to sufficient, relevant resources in the community where they're needed.
Taking that model from a service agency "secret" to a public-facing tool is interesting! But did it need a whole new group to "invent" it?
― There's more Italy than necessary. (in orbit), Wednesday, 23 September 2020 14:26 (three years ago) link
Please excuse my skepticism--I've been to so many workshops over the years that promise to somehow reveal new and amazing resources, and it's just another one of these things. I mean, they're GOOD as far as they go, but imo they all end up falling short, partly because the RESOURCES AREN'T THERE to meet people's needs.

The ferry is kind of a disaster any way. EDC/ the mayor plugging in millions of its rent revenue into it, which usually goes to City's general fund. That money would really come in handy during a crisis.And of course the ferries serve almost a predominately high income clientelehttps://nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/10/01/icymi-de-blasio-plugged-debt-spouting-ferry-service-with-millions-from-times-square/

There was another place not far from there, on Prince, an ancient barber shop with a stack of old Playboys on a little side table. I got my hair cut there once and when I asked the geezer who ran the place how much to pay him he kinda shrugs and goes 'whatever you think.' I think I paid him $5, he didn't complain.
